More governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) are on the verge of joining the All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor
Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto State said yesterday.
Wamakko who, along with Governors Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers, Rabiu
Kwankwaso of Kano, Murtala Nyako of Adamawa and Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara,
recently dumped the PDP for the APC said: “ More governors will soon join APC.”
He spoke at his Gidan Kara Ward in Wamakko yesterday shortly after the
conduct of the party’s ward congress.
He did not mention who those likely defectors are.
The governor said yesterday’s ward congress was to ratify consensus
decisions taken across the 23 local government areas of the state.
He said:” The decision to use the consensus system is not forced on any
of the members of the party in the state.
“It is in the best interest of the party and to foster unity as a
formidable platform.”
He described the smooth and successful conduct of the congress as a good
omen for the APC which, according to him, is out to protect the interest of all
Nigerians.
He was optimistic about the chances of the party in next year’s polls.
