FRESH revelations from the political turf have confirmed that more troubles await the presidential aspiration of President Goodluck Jonathan as the National Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) draws close.

Investigations have confirmed that some pro-zoning advocates have concluded arrangements to make advanced reservations in all hotels within the Abuja City Centre ahead of the PDP National Convention.

Sources close to a meeting of some of the groups working on the consensus arrangement for the northern presidential aspirant confirmed to the Nigerian Tribune that the groups, apparently working in favour of the consensus candidate of the Northern Political Leaders Forum (NPLF), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, have already given the assignment to a South-South politician to take over the hotels in Abuja ahead of the PDP National Convention.

The source said that the groups, at an interactive session, concluded that arrangements be put in place to ensure that all hotels within the Abuja city centre were booked once the PDP confirmed that it was conducting indirect primaries.

“The consultative meeting concluded that arrangements be put in place to make reservations in all hotels in order to make it difficult for Mr. President’s supporters to secure hotel accommodations during the primaries,” a source said, adding that the idea was initially mooted that hotel reservations would be booked in all the six geo-political zones ahead of the planned staggered primaries.

Sources concluded that the strategy to whip Jonathan’s supporters into line would be carefully executed through the strategic hotel booking plan.
