The
Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, has reacted to the possibility of
governors elected under the platform of the PDP decamping to the newly
formed All Progressive Congress.
As
the race towards 2015 gains momentum, coupled with the crisis rocking
the ruling party and uncertainty over whether President Goodluck
Jonathan will throw his hat in the ring, there are speculations that PDP
governors will jump ship in their bid to stop the president.
Reacting,
spokesperson for the CPC, Mr. Rotimi Fashakin, said that the APC would
gladly welcome the PDP governors, adding that it was high time the
governors abandoned what he called the “torn umbrella, which can no
longer stop the rain.”
Fashakin
said, “It is not impossible for the governors to join us. The governor
of Niger State, Dr. Babangida Aliyu, just said today (Thursday) that
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) remains his leader and that he is happy at
the birth of APC.
“APC
is a success story that has come to stay. The governor also added that
the formation of the new party would stop all riffraffs from contesting
the presidency.
“So, even if all the governors of the PDP want to come, they are welcome. APC is a party with large heart” he reiterated.
