The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) met with Aminu Tambuwal, governor of Sokoto state, and Abdufatah Ahmed, governor of Kwara, in Ilorin on Wednesday.

The governors who were elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are expected to defect to the PDP any moment from now.

TheCable had reported that the duo alongside Samuel Ortom, their Benue counterpart, were plotting to pull out of the APC.

On Monday, Ortom announced that he had been given a “red card” in the ruling party and was willing to join a party which has an ideology worthy of being adopted by his administration.

Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers state, was among the leaders who attended the Ilorin meeting.

Tambuwal, Ahmed and Ortom were members of the nPDP who teamed up with the APC to dislodge PDP in 2015.

Three months ago, leaders of the bloc accused the current administration of marginalising members of the faction.

They also demanded a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari who refused and referred them to Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

Good Riddance!

See painment ekpele o

Why is taking them this long time? Aminu Tambuwal will be the greatest loser.

Decamping mode activated...

BUHARI DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN.

You will gather and still be dispersed. Tinubu was full of praises for the way Buhari resisted blackmail.
There will be NAILS to political coffins in 2019 then maybe young politicians will finally get a chance.

Please make una leave the terrorist party joor!

APC going...
going....
gone.

Even Buhari knows the tides are against him.

The kind of political tsunami that will hit Tambuwal is still doing press up. Wamako is just watching him and consulting his babalawo for him to defect to PDP so fast so that he'll solely be the one in charge in APC to decide who becomes the next Sokoto governor, who goes to senate, house of rep and house of assembly.

Please may my enemies be as confused as Tambuwal a first term governor toying with his political career, you are in a state you don't have issues with the president, your god father, with your party, have a good chance of going back for a second tenure under APC just because Wike is dangling presidential ticket on your face you started forming agrief on APC so that you'll leave. Can someone tell me why Tambuwal is agrief in APC? Others i can understand.

If Tambuwal take a shot at the presidency under PDP he will end up not getting the ticket and not becoming a governor too. He becomes Aaron.

Y are ppl surprised?? more will still decamp to either ways, this is what tells us election is near in Nigeria

PDP is winning big

They should do it quick all these postponement Saraki DIno Tambuwal, Kwakwanso Abdulfatah and everyine that wants to leave should do quick so that the real politics can start

PDP should not take these defections and goodwill of Nigerians for granted

I will like to see a proper transparent Presidential primary and ahead of that candidates running on PDP platform should be made to debate 3 times on the following topics and in different locations

Abuja debate should focus on National Security/Boko Haram/Fulani Herdsmen
Lagos debate should focus on Nigerian Economy/Diversification
Port Harcourt debate to focus of Post-Crude-Oil Nigeria as per electric cars in the WEST /Environment Protection/ Nigerian Diversity

Imagine the kind of following PDP will generate from the likes of Saraki, Atiku, Kwakwanso, Tambuwal, Sule Lamido going round the country in a marathon debate on Nigeria geo-political issues. That will take the Presidential run to levels that Buhari will not be able to keep up with.

But if PDP do the backroom horse trading like before, then that will hand Buhari the race!

If care is not taken tambuwal will be the greatest looser

Everyone still dey fear. They don't know what the outcome of the rolling dice would be. I'm watching in 3D

Spot on

Where is dis game going?

Buhari remain a disaster and an enemy to peaceful Nigeria

Tambuwal is a looser in this game.

Tambuwal should calculate very very well.... But still moving from a sinking ship is the right move...
