This so called meeting is just a figment of somebody's imagination.. dual loyalty in Nigerian politics has never paid handsomely. Those governors need nobody to feel them this .... If they wanted to test the water they should have decamped early enough to APC and maybe the party structure would have been reconfigure to give them the upper hand.


Ayade tried it and discovered that there is no common ground for water and oil. ....

Alleged plans by the All Progressives Congress, APC to break the ranks of Southeast governors belonging to the People’s Democratic Party, PDP may have derailed.

The governors have been severally alleged to have struck a deal to enable President Muhammadu Buhari get at least 25% of the votes in their states in quid pro quo for their own easy re-election.

Concerns over the commitment of the Southeast governors to the PDP presidential candidate had in recent times emerged upon the open affinity of the governors to President Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Three of the Southeast governors belong to the PDP, the exceptions being Governors Rochas Okorocha of Imo State who belongs to the APC and Willie Obiano of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA.

All three PDP governors in the region, Dave Umahi, Ebonyi; Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Enugu and Okezie Ikpeazu, Abia are all running for a second term.
Gov. Umahi had in particular been openly supportive of Buhari’s second term and was only last week endorsed by traditional rulers in the state who at the same time endorsed Buhari.

However, very reliable sources told Vanguard that the “wool was pulled of the eyes” of the governor at a confidential meeting involving all three governors, Atiku and Senate President Bukola Saraki.

The meeting which took place in Enugu according to sources was facilitated by the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu.

“Some of the governors had been led to believe that giving Buhari 25% of the votes would not do them any harm but that meeting opened their eyes to the danger of that,” a source at the meeting disclosed.

“They were made to realise that they were all in the first term and that after helping the president that the president would turn around to push APC governorship candidates to throw them out and don’t forget that the governorship election comes after the presidential.”

Atiku who was present reminded them of the 2003 scenario in which the PDP swept all but one of the five Alliance for Democracy, AD governors from power. The exception was Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in Lagos who was allegedly tipped of by Atiku.

Gov. Umahi who is from Ohazara in the Southern Senatorial District had been especially touted as a collaborator with the Buhari Campaign following from their links in the former All Nigeria People’s Party, ANPP.

Sources, however, disclosed that the governor may have reconsidered upon the ethnic dimensions in the state. The governor is from Uburu in Ohazara Local Government Area, one of the smaller communities in the state.

SE Governors were silly to even give a senile man like buhari any serious consideration..The man has acute dementia so whatevet selfish gains SE Governors were hoping to get from buhari will be truncated by the devious cabals controlling him.

However my heat-felt condolences to APC supporters who will be heart-broken by this news.

Confused set of people... today dey go stand with buhari 2moro Atiku, and their Kano and ipob dem go tell u say no voting...
mitchewwww.......... ��

Lolz

This why i always laugh at the naivity of some Afonjas on this platform. They say Atiku is their enemy but its clear how Atiku helped Tinubu all those times he was being witch hunted by Obasanjo. Now Tinubu is now the champion calling everybody corrupt and enemy of progress. Well informed Nigerians knw without Atikus help in the 2000s Tinubu would have been toast is not for Atiku that shielded him.

impossible

DrGoodman:


Atiku is a business man
Obi is a business man
Igbos are business men

We understand each other.

U must b a business man as well,,,cos it is not flesh n blood dat revealed dis to u...

Expected

DrGoodman:
Buharri is a complete BAD market. Igbos are traders and we understand how bad it could be to bring in a load of unmarketable merchandise .

Buharri has been the problem stopping south east business moves and we reject him in total.

Vote for Atiku/Obi

Buhari don't need you people, it's bad luck to his chances, give all your votes and all your Osu caste energy to Atiku.

braveboi4life:
Forget the influence of the governors, South east will give Atiku about 90% votes, what am asking for is that ebonyi people punish umahi by voting him out then he will realize that you don't play with the tail of a lion(Buhari)and go Scot free

you re learner if you said forget about governors. who Rigs election ask yourself? South east region only write results for pdp in presidential election no election there. Despite the low turnout in s.e region bogus votes were still allocated to pdp with the help of govs. Go to sheu sani twitter page and see how Govs in Nigeria Rig election not just sitting behind your keypad and be typing bullcrap

which state

If ibos should miss this opportunity of having Obi as VP, which can eventually become President, then, they have lost indeed.
They should not allow the opportunity of 2015 to pass them by this time.

The atmosphere in Nigeria now is enough to make a mute talk..so let me vent biko.

It's obvious if any SS or SE make the mistake to support Buhari I can get it with everything that governor would either defect to apc or Buhari with his gang will gang up against such governor and remove him simply because Buhari has already scale through in event he win the election living whoever support him to he buhari mercy.


And any SE PDP governor that try to defect to apc will face his people wrath heavily and lost the battle so it's better let them.remain where they are to avoid a showdown or be turn to cabal errand boys or feel the heat ortom and his people went through.

Your last paragraph bro is a complete off target. Bro us your buhari a puticuan? Pls be honest in answering me. Then place Atiku side by side Buhari and tell me who is of political antecedent among the two pls I need answer honest one indeed? Then go by history do a profile check on America past leaders in the last 3 decades and tell me who the majority of their president are?

What you have said above sound to crude and myopic in reasoning because you did not used your Google well enough to equipped yourself with facts as per world leaders profiles in term of what they do for living apart from.politics.

No offense ok.just shedding light to your post.

Good day.

Meaning?
Senseless is all i can say.

DrGoodman:

Effiongdbest:

Atiku will lose this election with wider margin than Jonathan did .
You want to bet ?
