Following the ongoing crisis within the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the opposition have started making moves to woo aggrieved members to their side.

CEOAFRICA.com gathered that All Progressives Congress (APC) is one of the opposition parties trying to woo the G7 governors.

This offer was formally made by the National Vice-Chairman of the APC, North-East, Umar Duhu, who led other delegates to pay Sallah visit to the Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako, who is one of the aggrieved governors.

According to sources, the APC officials told Governor Nyako that the policy of APC is to offer any governor that defect to the party the complete structure of the new opposition party.

By offering the structure of the party to the governors, the governors would automatically produce the executive officials of the party in the states. It was further learnt that the APC may have deferred the appointment of interim executives in the affected states based on the consideration.

According to our source, the National Publicity Secretary of the nPDP, Chief Chukwuemeka Eze said defection to the APC was an option now being forced on the nPDP governors.

“Let us face the facts. The fact is that it is our desire to take PDP back to the vision of the founding fathers, but what is our situation where we fail? Do we as politicians continue with the impunity that is being perpetuated by a cabal in PDP where two or three persons gather and say sack this person, suspend this person, revoke this land, seal up this secretariat, is that how to practice democracy,” he asked?

“So, if we have other options of which APC is one of the options nothing stops us from exploring those opportunities but at the moment the governor of Adamawa State is a Nigerian and he has every liberty to associate or being visited by anybody but that does not mean in any way that our group has sat and agreed that we are moving.

“At the moment we are in PDP and we will be in PDP to salvage our party. It is where we deem it to be impossible and there is no other alternative than to look for another platform to execute our programmes for Nigerians,” he said.
