Five PDP governors Lobbies With APC for re-elections in 2019
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors are already seeking a secret pact with President Muhammadu Buhari on the 2019 general elections.
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 servicing governor.
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.
The five PDP governors are from the Southsouth and the Southeast. Two are from the Southsouth and three from the Southeast
One of the sources said: “The five governors are lobbying APC leaders to help cut a deal with President Buhari by which the President will allow them to be re-elected in return for their support for Buhari to win the presidential election in those PDP states. “The arrowhead of the group (from the Southsouth) has been talking to two APC governors. He is pleading with the governors to present the request of the five PDP governors to the President ahead of a likely face-to-face meeting.”
