Start writing your handover
notes, G7, Baraje group tell
Jonathan on november 26, 2013 at 5:06
pm in news By Henry Umoru 26-11-13
ABUJA- THE defunct Abubakar
Kawu Baraje led splinter group
of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP which prior to
Tuesday had in its fold, the G7 governors, asked President
Goodluck Jonathan to start
writing his handover notes
ahead of the 2015 Presidential
election. According to the group in a
statement signed by its
National Publicity Secretary,
Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, joining
the All Progrsssive Congress,
APC, the opposition party was now the majority party in the
country while it said it tagged
PDP as a minority party,
adding, “In the circumstances,
President Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan must now start writing his handover notes
because his ambition to
maouevre the party structures
so as to get a third term in
office in 2015 has suddenly
collapsed. On dumping the PDP, Eze said,
“Now, we have reached the
stage that we can only say:
“PDP, your sinking ship has
been abandoned to you! You
brought this misfortune upon yourself, now you must bear it
alone!” “As for us, we are happy to
belong to the APC, where our
value is appreciated, where we
are made to feel truly wanted,
and where we can now join
forces with like minds in our struggle to liberate Nigeria
from PDP’s misrule, which is
soon to end.” Recalling what happened on
Tuesday at Kano Lodge,
Asokoro, Abuja, Eze said, “Late
this morning, at about 11:46,
the National Chairman of the
New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP), Alhaji Abubakar Kawu
Baraje, formally announced the
merger of the party with the
All Progressives Congress (APC)
. The merger was contained in
a communiqué which Alhaji Baraje read to journalists at
the end of a meeting between
the leadership of New PDP and
that of the APC held at the
Kano Governor’s Lodge in
Abuja. The communiqué signed by Bisi Akande the APC
National Chairman and Kawu
Abubakar Baraje the National
Chairman of NPDP reads, “A
meeting of the leadership of
All Progressives Congress, APC, and the new PDP met this
morning at the residence of
the Kano State Governor, Dr.
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, in
Abuja and after exhaustive
deliberations the two parties agreed to merge in order to
rescue our fledgling democracy
and the nation. “With this development, the G7
Governors of New PDP, namely,
Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Rabiu
Kwankwaso (Kano), Sule
Lamido (Jigawa), Aliyu
Wamakko (Sokoto), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Abdulfatah
Ahmed (Kwara) and Rotimi
Amaechi (Rivers), are now
members of the APC. The
merger thus shoots up the
number of APC State Governors to 18 while PDP’s shrinks to 16,
with All Progressives Grand
Alliance (APGA) and Labour
Party having one governor
each. A similar permutation
exists in the National Assembly where we now have the
majority with PDP and its allies
in minority. More details soon.
