At least three high profile presidential aspirants in Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have used surrogates to purchase Senate and governorship forms as they perfect alternative political survival strategies ahead of the national convention of the party.
The three, including two serving senators and an incumbent governor, it was gathered, picked the forms through surrogates.

The PDP presidential aspirants have consistently played out the option of returning to their current positions in the event of losing out the PDP presidential primaries scheduled for October 6, multiple sources in the party have repeatedly said.

Twelve persons have so far picked the PDP presidential nomination and expression of interest forms. They include Atiku Abubakar, Ahmed Makarfi, Sule Lamido, Attahiru Bafarawa, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Tanimu Turaki, and Ibrahim Dankwambo.

The others are Aminu Tambuwal, David Mark, Bukola Saraki, Datti Baba Ahmed and Stanley Osifo.

The move by the trio all of whom, remarkably all returned to the PDP from All Progressives Congress, APC, came as resentment continues to build against some of the aspirants who left the party for the APC in 2014 and contributed to the loss of the party in the 2015 general election.

Reflective of the resentment, Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, Vanguard gathered, practically told off one of the presidential aspirants who recently rejoined the party.

“Fayose could barely spend time with him and told him that they abandoned the party at the time of need. I think I told you that this man is a bad man,” the governor was quoted as telling the presidential aspirant who left the PDP in 2014 only to return a few weeks ago.

The presidential aspirant spent barely one hour in the state upon the cold reception from Fayose who could barely hide the strategic role of the PDP returnee in Buhari’s emergence as president in 2015.

The resentment against the PDP returnees, it was learned, was also swelling among some PDP organs, including Board of Trustees, BoT, where influential members were beginning to question the propriety of handing over the party’s most valued asset to those who they claimed abandoned the party only to come back to meet it intact.



PDP presidential aspirants not fully committed to the party—Adejumo

Meanwhile, vice chairman of Lagos State chapter of the party, Alhaji Agbaje Adejumo, has accused many of the presidential aspirants of not being fully committed to the party.

He said all but one of them, Atiku, are eyeing other positions and using the presidency as a bargaining chip.

He said:“We wish to declare that the former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, is the only candidate that has full and total commitment to the Peoples Democratic Party and the presidential race.

“Upon investigation, it has been discovered that other aspirants may not be fully committed to Peoples Democratic Party and the presidential election.”

Adejumo in a statement, yesterday, in Abuja said: “How do we know? Well, evidence has come to light that others who have declared their intention to contest the office of the President of Nigeria on the platform of PDP have bought and submitted their presidential nomination forms.

“However, they have not stopped there. They have also secretly bought and submitted either a gubernatorial declaration of interest form or a senatorial declaration of interest form in addition to their presidential declaration form.

“This is a defeatist mentality. They have their Plan B because they are not sure of their Plan A.

“Atiku Abubakar is about the only candidate who has bought and submitted his PDP presidential nomination form and no other form. He is fully and totally committed to PDP and the presidential race.” “Atiku has no plan B because he is fully and totally committed to his plan A of which he is fully assured of victory. Under the rain and under the sun, Atiku is for the PDP and the Presidency.

“The million Naira question is this: Can the Peoples Democratic Party afford to give its ticket to wavering candidates being that a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways,” he stated.

Twelve presidential aspirants and you call it so far Which means there are more to be added PDP's intention to crumble this country is surprisingly glaring but yet some evil fans who want the downfall of their beloved country keep hailing and encouraging the politicians. Imagine this over recycled Atiku, Kwankwaso etc still having the guts to contest for presidential race. These thiev3s are making comedy with Politics. It's a talent and I give it to them!!

The party(PDP) himself is not a Plan B for this nation because it's not a terrorists party, our Plan A party is APC ( a terrorists party) and that's where we are heading to. PDP is a past tense for this nation and that's where they belong(past)

afroniger:
Saraki knows he stands little chance of getting the presidential ticket. He's just there to play spoiler.
