The continued hold-on to the leadership of the
Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, by Acting Chairman, Chief Uche Secondus and
National Publicity
Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, has prevented
aggrieved members of other parties from joining the PDP, pointblanknews.com can report. Senior Party officials who do not want to be
named told Pointblanknews.com
that members of the All Progressive Congress,
APC, who are currently
disenchanted with the way and manner the party
and Government is being run are willing to defect to the PDP but are not
comfortable with the
Secondus-Metuh leadership style. “We have received enquiries from APC members
on the chances of them moving
to PDP but their main concern and challenge is
the continuous presence of
Secondus and Metuh,” the PDP stalwart who does
not want to be named told Pointblanknews.com. According to him, “We have also received
enquiries from members of other
party who are willing to team up with the PDP to
form a formidable
opposition but they are not comfortable with the
way and manner the party is being run by the Secondus and his men.” Pointblanknews.com gathered that some top
members of the APC and some
serving Governors who feared that the Party might
disintegrate and cause
them electoral misfortunes are beginning to
consider a defection to the PDP. Former nPDP members, a splinter group from the
PDP, members of the defunct
Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, All Nigeria’s
People Party, ANPP and few
others in APC are currently aggrieved and
considering defection. Sources confirmed that senior members of the
APC have severally complained
about how the party is being run. Some complain
how difficult it has
become to even have an audience with the
President on pressing state and national issues. “We didn’t have it this bad under other
administrations. It is hard to
discuss issues with party chieftains because you
don’t know what group
they belong. The party is so divided now that it is
hard to discuss issues. It is even harder to see the President
because you are always told
he is busy,” a serving APC Governor who does not
want to be named told
Pointblanknews.com. According to the Governor, “we just hope the PDP
can put back their house
in order. If that happens today, you will see the
defection. We will move
in high numbers.” It was further gathered that mostly miffed by on-
goings in the APC are
those who moved from the PDP and formed the
nPDP and former members of the
defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN. Sources told Pointblanknews.com that while
members of the former nPDP are
currently feeling like a stranger in the APC, ACN
members who form the
bloc of the APC from the south west feel the APC
have been hijacked by members of the defunct Congress for Progressive
Change, CPC. “Look at the composition of the inner caucus of
the Government. It is
dominated by CPC members. Besides the Vice
President who came from the
ACN, we don’t have anyone else at the top. Even at
that, the Vice President doesn’t speak Hausa and most of the
times, they speak in Hausa
and he doesn’t understand the language. We are
not comfortable at all, a
chieftain of the APC who was in ACN told
Pointblanknews.com. According to him, “if sensitive positions are
spread amongst the core
parties like ACN, CPC, ANPP and others, we won’t
have to fear but as it
stands, once politics heat up, you will begin to
see how divided we are in APC.” Besides defecting to PDP, some are considering
floating a new party
entirely but the fear is the long time it requires to
nurture it ahead of
the 2019 General elections.

Aboki must be Aboki

I don't know elsewhere, but I expect exodus into PDP in Abia, Bayelsa, Rivers , Delta , Aka ibom and other oyel states.

Because politicians are shameless and only stay with parties in power in their states..

most of their reasons are that Buhari is not a listening leader

Hope they know that the moment they defect to PDP that EFCC will start harassing them because they are no longer saints

It'll be a return back home after a brief vacation... I see the likes of saraki joining the train.

he has never been one

Hehe!

Most Nigerian politicians are thieves and very selfish anyway. The moment they can't have access to the till as was the case under the Ineffectual Buffoon, they will naturally resort to blackmailing.

The unfortunate thing is that they have legion of young supporters to urge them on; the same youths whose life has been bastardized by the same corrupt politicians over and over again are the ones who provide support for the looters.

Let's wait and see how they all end.

PDP for sixteen years didn't take us to Canaan but left us stranded in wilderness. APC saw us stranded in the wilderness promised to take us to Canaan but unfortunately, from the look of things, Buhari is taking us back to Egypt. We need a new political party that will champion the new Nigerian vision else this vicious cycle will continue.
