Flag Missing On Nyako’s Official Car

THE speculated cross-carpeting by the seven discontented governors of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) is no longer rumour, as former military Head of State and APC chieftain, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, confirmed Friday that they have agreed to join the party with their supporters.

Buhari, who was received at the Yola International Airport by Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State, alongside his APC entourage that included former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, party Interim Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande, Gen. Mohammed Buba Marwa and other top party members, told reporters at the airport that their tour of the G-7 governors’ states has yielded positive result, as the governors had given positive responses to the invitation to join the APC.

Insisting that “we now have the G-7 governors in our fold, our tour is yielding positive result for the party,” Buhari, who claimed that APC was formed to salvage the country from PDP bondage, urged Nigerians not to rest in their fight against injustice and impunity meted against them by the PDP government.

He commended Nyako and his rebel group for their alleged fight for injustice, noting that their fight was for the good of the people of Nigeria and in defence of democracy.

Nyako, while welcoming his guests to the state, however, said he was still in PDP but would always identify with like minds for the progress of the country.

He explained: “What we are doing today is not politics but showing concern for our future. The fact that Buhari is here physically with other bigwigs portends hope, that leaders from various divides are meeting here gives Nigeria the hope that we are uniting for the good of the country.”

Nevertheless, he stated: “The PDP is very, very sick. If APC means making Nigeria a key player in Africa or saving Nigeria, securing Nigeria, I don’t mind being in any political party.

“The PDP is on the verge of death because the leaders in Abuja have given the party a terrifying uppercut. If the party is dead, nobody should expect me to follow a dead party into the grave.”

Meanwhile, Nyako had arrived the airport earlier without the PDP flag on his official car, but only the Nigeria flag flying by the passenger side. He eventually left the airport in a white 32-seater Toyota coaster with his guests to Government House, where they had a closed-door meeting.

The APC Interim National Vice Chairman, North-East Zone, Alhaji Umar Duhu noted that the tour was at the instance of the APC to “woo prospective members into its fold,” stressing that the presence of the G7 governors in their fold would strengthen the party and send PDP to its early grave with a bitter political lesson.

He added: “We are so glad with the coming of aggrieved PDP governors into our fold because it will boost the chances of our party in 2015 and facilitate the final burial of the PDP by sending the party to its early grave and teaching them a bitter political lesson.

“We are not expecting only seven but 11 of them. With this development, the opposition will now have 22 governors and probably take over the leadership of the National Assembly, so you can see even before the battle the 2015 election is already won.”

TribalEAST: its not the people that matters but a new policy which APC is ready to give.

seunfly: Pdp people are infected with pdp failure syndrome, so i'm not gonna welcome them into APC. May be Apc can just use them to spread their tentacles and drop them afterward otherwise, uuummmh!!!

greatgod2012: But why is APC always interested in getting the deserted PDP members, can't they perform without former PDP members. How are we sure they wouldn't copy PDP's agenda.

Well, it is well.

chidindufrank: If they like let them capture the 36 state governors,we all are aware that GEJ must complete his tenure in 2019. I want to use this opportunity to state categorically that come 2015 APC I repeat APC will never or will not win more than 5 states in the election. Just bookmark this for reference purposes.
