The intrigues and political manoeuvring that will shape the 2019 general elections have begun to unfold with revelations that some serving ministers and governors on the platform of the two major political parties are deeply involved in the formation and funding of the much touted mega party; Action Democratic Party, ADP, which this week began its registration process.

Saturday Sun gathered that beside the serving ministers and governors, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, his father, Chief Alani Bankole and a minister of state for Agriculture under President Goodluck Jonathan, Alhaji Awodele Najeem Adewale have been named among notable promoters of the emerging party from the Southwest zone.

One of the top leaders of the yet to be registered party from the North who pleaded anonymity, told Saturday Sun on Thursday that “our support base cuts across party lines and cadres” when prodded to name some of the ministers involved in the party, said “it would be suicidal to mention their names now. But they are people not happy within the system but should they be dropped in the imminent cabinet shake-up, Nigerians will surely know them.”

On the governors in secret romance with the party, the source gave the same excuse “for fear of persecution.”

Further investigations by Saturday Sun however, revealed that a prominent All Progressives Congress, APC governor in the Northwest and another Peoples Democratic Party, PDP governor from the South-South are among the chief promoters of the party , aside their colleagues in the two major political parties.

Most of the big personalities involved in the new party, who are chieftains of the ruling APC, it was learnt are still playing hide-and-seek with the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration, in order to avoid any backlash.

However, operatives of some security agencies who are fully aware of the clandestine moves, have continued to trail the “big actors involved, especially the movement of money to fund the new party and may move against them anytime soon.” According to a security source, “ we are on the trail of the party’s sponsors still hibernating in APC and others. When we start asking for the source of the funds they are moving around, we hope they won’t start shouting political persecution, that is if the party’s registration even scales through.”

Nonetheless, those saddled with the responsibility of organizing the party are pushing fast by setting up physical and administrative structures for the party across the country. On Tuesday this week, it was gathered that its protem national officers had relocated to Abuja to prepare for the party’s registration and national convention. This followed the zoning of positions in its National Working Committee, NWC and that of the National Executive Committee to the various geo-political zones of the country. According to the new party, the National Chairmanship position has been zoned to the North Central; South west gets Deputy National Chairman; South East, National Secretary; National Organising Secretary goes to the North West, South East gets National Legal Adviser, while the South South gets National Treasurer. The new party also made provision for two zones to produce the position of Deputy National Chairmen as it was during the early days of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, just as it created a novel office, National Diaspora Adviser. According to the breakdown, North Central has the National Welfare Secretary; National Vice Chairman; Vice National Organising Secretary; Deputy National Woman Leader; Assistant National Secretary; Deputy National Treasurer; National Vice woman leader; National Vice Youth Leader and ex-official. The North West aside the position of National Organising Secretary, has the positions of National Woman leader; National Vice Chairman; Vice Publicity Secretary; Deputy National Secretary; Deputy National Youth Leader; Deputy National Welfare Secretary; National Vice Woman Leader and Ex-Officio. The allocation also shows that the North East has the positions of Deputy National Chairman; National Vice Chairman; National Auditor; Deputy National Financial Secretary; National Vice Woman Leader; National Vice Youth leader and Ex- Officio....

Mega party or no mega party, Buhari will win in 2019 election if he wants to.

Adminisher:
Anybody putting hope in an upstart Mega party does not know Nigeria at all. There is no money for politicians to spend and a I suspect a lot of the people making Mega party moves are working for Buhari himself.

I so pity Nigerians.... Complaints, compliants...nothing tangible. Who could ve done better with the way our economy became abysmally dried, if not Bihari? Yet some people don't get that.

What will happen is that they will all dump APC and move to that new party, and then point to APC as the architect of your woes,

And then you will vote for them again , and your poverty continues.

Am tired of all comments here. No one is even mentioning any southerner for 2019. Are we going to die in the north? Can't we mention a good politician from S/S, S/W or S/E? We are complaining of Buhari yet we continue mentioning ATIKU, LAMIDO & the rest. For me & my household 2019 will define itself. Do u know ATIKU age will be in 2019? Atiku will be at 71 or 72. The same old thieves parading us like an angel. If Jonathan had done it well, young politicians would emerge but he failed us. Check all those young politicians that work for/with him. They are all rogues. Only few are partially saint. Someone like former Agricultural minister, Akinwumi. If that man can contest, he will have followers but in which party or platform will such person contest? Even if he's nominated in formidable party. The old politicians on queue will frustrate him to loose because they will be claiming they are betrayed because they hate seeing a technocrat to emerge. If nobody to vote for 2019, I will keep my card or vote only for the state governorship if he worths voting for. Mind you, never think to vote Saraki o. Nigeria will not come out of recession if u try Saraki. He's worse that SATAN.

Absolutely my guy, you just spoke the reality. And th gullible masses will troop in en mass to vote the rogues in the new party as if they've not been the problem of Nigeria. All these new party, decamp, etc is just a mockery of democracy. I have not seen America formed a new party or decamped to another party just to run an office. Nigerian politicians are monkeys, I have no regrets for saying this, It's like they feel shortchanged in this administration hence the need to form a new party and continue what they know best; looting the treasury. Shameless fools that have not achieved anything for Nigeria. Ear problem; they fly to london, headache; they fly to Germany, stomach problem; they run to America for treatment, Education; they send their children abroad. Demons with no atom of sense of pride. No electricity, good road network, good hospital, dilapidated institutions, God willl punish all those monkeys and blood sucking demons that parade themselves as politicians.

You must be either Garba Shehu or Adesina. You can never escape being one of these two.


By the way, the only reason you have to still give him your vote is and can only remain that you are under his pay list to defend him. Shikena kawai.
