IT emerged in Abuja on Tuesday that some governors of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) who areplanning to defect to the emerging mega party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) are gripped by the fear that President Goodluck Jonathan could give them the James Ibori or Timpre Sylva treatment if elected in 2015.
Sources at a meeting of the merger APC held in Abuja on Friday, March 22 stated that three of the PDP governors who approached the leaders of the party have stated that they were afraid that the Anti-graft agencies could go after them and that if Jonathan gets elected again in2015 he would not give them any cover.
A source at the Friday meeting was told that at least three governors of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP)have concluded arrangementsto defect to the new party upon its formation.
The source said that a South South governor has assured the leaders of the party that he will not remain in the fold of the PDP if President Goodluck Jonathan decides to contest the 2015 election because of the fear that he could be sent to jail by any ofthe nation’s anti-graft agencies.
“We were told that at least three PDP governors have confirmed their support for and willingness to decamp to the new opposition platform if Mr. President would be running for the 2015 Presidential race.
“One of them (names withheld)particularly told APC leaders that if Mr. President eventually succeeds in his re-election ambition, he (Mr. President) would carry out similar treatments he meted out to Timipre Sylva and James Ibori former Governorsof Bayelsa and Delta States on any of them.
They concluded that it is better to support another candidate who would possibly protect them,” a source at themeeting said.
The merging political parties, the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) have also concluded plans to institute a legal action against the Independent National ElectoralCommission (INEC) over the use of acronym APC.
A meeting of the Joint Contact Committee of the merger parties held in Abuja last Friday concluded that a suit be instituted against INEC to secure an injunction restraining anybody from registering the name APC pending the conclusion of the National Convention of the merger parties.
Sources at the meeting said that the sub-committee of the Joint Contact Committee saddled with the responsibilityto resolve the name crisis had suggested that a suit be instituted against INEC, such that an injunction would be secured to restrain the body from registering any party in the name of APC pending the conclusion of the National Convention of the merging parties.
Although there was also the suggestion that the parties could adopt the name All Progressives Congress of Nigeria (APCN), a source said that the parties believed that they could still stick to the original name APC and sail through.
A source said that the Legal Team has however concluded that the best way out was for the merging parties is to seeka court injunction to restrain the INEC from recognising anyother political groups/associations with the APC acronym apart from their own political platform.”
The source said that such a development would ensure that the parties are able to conduct their national conventions peacefully and assume the name APC afterwards

Decamping of the crooks to a crooked packed yoreoba party apc

The merger is just a waste of time because PDP can not be removed through elections but revolution

If we are to believe this story, it then means that APC will only get majority support from politicians, if and only if APC can guarantee a safe passage for Corrupt Politicians.

Our Politicians are just irredeemably corrupt that non of them is worth standing for election in a sane society.

The Summary of the whole article is: If Jonathan can promise them re-election or promise to exonerate them from facing prosecution in the near future, GEJ will be re-elected for second term.

We all know that our leaders are the same, but i want some thing that will make them improve which i think is healthy competition among 2 gaint and strong party, not a monopolistic one party that we have now and does see any reason to improve.
