G7 Govs Ready To Join APC -el-rufai by Solutioncrib: 10:32am On Oct 30, 2013
THE interim deputy national secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, has said based on the ongoing talks with the Baraje-led New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP), the G7 governors
of PDP may soon join APC.

el-Rufai, speaking with newsmen on his arrival at the Mallam Aminu
Kano International Airport, Kano, said the rationale behind his visit was to interact with stakeholders, so as to map out strategies ahead the 2015 general election.

When asked if the consideration of the factional PDP members would not undermine the manifesto of APC and its criticism of the leadership style of the PDP-led Federal Government, the former Minister of Federal
Capital Territory (FCT) insisted that there were some good elements
among PDP members who were already tired of the present situation in the country.

“It is well known that not all PDP members are bad. Going by the way the new PDP members were going, it is clear that there are still some members of PDP that are not happy with the way President Goodluck Jonathan is running the country.

“Therefore, if these people now regard themselves as new PDP and were confronting their party, it is an indication that there are still a few people within the party that believe in change.
“Based on this and the principle they stand for, they are welcome to join the APC, in order to effect the change the generality of people are yearning for and it is only the APC that is capable of bringing the change,” he said.

He assured that with the political antecedents of APC leaders, the party would not disappoint Nigerians in its advocacy for good governance.
Kano State governor, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, had, during the Hausa service of Vision FM Radio, in Abuja, on Sunday, said himself and other aggrieved governors in the PDP were open to four options in their ongoing battle with the Bamanga Tukur-led party.

The governor said one of the options was to defect to the mega
opposition party, APC.
Other options, according to him, included finalising the ongoing
reconciliation efforts by President Jonathan; aligning forces with an
unpopular party; or floating a new political party.

The governor lamented what he described as the lack of will to address the group’s grievances by both the party leadership and the president.
“None of all that we demanded from the party and government, which we see as the way forward for the party, was fulfilled. Therefore, it is
surprising to see a party that is toying with its warfront commanders.

“We don’t want to leave the party. But if leaving PDP is what will only save our states and people, we will leave it. As such, we call on people to support us on that, because our concern is to ward off anything that will harm our people,” he added.

So once they join APC, the cease to be the corrupt demons they were in PDP? Says a lot about APC, a party made up of people who have failed Nigeria over and over again.

Shame on them if they don't join the dictators, among whom they truly belong.
