There are indications that the Niger state Governor Dr. Babangida Aliyu may have finally dumped the G7.

Speaking in Minna the Niger state capital, the governor noted that the reason why he did not defect along with the 5 from the G7 governors to APC was that their mission had been to reform the PDP and put it on the right track and not to defect to any other party.

He said his decision to remain in PDP to fight on should therefore not been seen as a betrayal of his other colleagues who have already defected to All Progressive Congress (APC).

According to him, “I only led the so called G7 as a result of a reform we were looking for in our party. The idea was not to leave our party (PDP); The idea was to reform it and fight to a logical conclusion before taken our final decision and since the fight is still on, there is no point of decamping.”

Governor Aliyu also explained that his continuous stay in PDP is not a personal decision but the decision  of his people in the state and there is no way he would take such gigantic step without consulting them.

The governor who made his stand known while receiving members of the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) led by the Country Vice President, Barrister Hauwa Shekarau during courtesy visit at government house Minna yesterday said the decision of his colleagues to join the APC was their personal decision while his decision to also remain in PDP is also personal.

The governor threw his weight behind the idea of a two party system in the country adding that it would put an end to political prostitution in the country.
