Five PDP governors seeking deal with Buhari
Shekarau dumps PDP
Desperate for a second term, five Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors are seeking a secret pact with President Muhammadu Buhari on the 2019 general elections.
Specifically, the deal is for the governors to support Buhari’s re-election in return for the Presidency’s backing in their bid to retain their seats.
The governors, who could not be named for “strategic” reasons, have sent emissaries, including two All Progressives Congress (APC) governors, to the President on their proposal.
One of the governors sent a message to the President in China through an APC governor, The Nation learnt yesterday.
Also yesterday, former Kano State Governor Ibrahim Shekarau dumped the PDP.
He is due to announce his defection to the APC after consultation with his supporters.
Although one of the five PDP governors initiated the “deal”, the positive signals from the mediating APC governors and some top officials of the Presidency motivated four others to join.
