NYAKO, SUPPORTERS IN SERIOUS MOVES TO JOIN APC AHEAD OF 2015 Facts have emerged in Yola, Adamawa State that governors of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, controlled states in the north have asked their supporters to join the opposition All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP, ahead of the registration of the All Progressive Congress, APC. This was discovered at a PDP stakeholders forum held in Yola by supporters of Governor Murtala Nyako. According to sources, top members of the party loyal to Alhaji Umaru Mijjinyawa Kugama’s faction were said to have taken the decision to ditch their party in a meeting held in Yola. Governor Nyako and Senator Ahmed Barata are among those expected to dump the party. Those who attended the meeting included state commissioners, local government chairmen, PDP ward chairmen and secretaries, special advisers and assistants as well as other principal officers of government in the PDP controlled states. Governor Nyako is known to be engaged in a bitter struggle for who would control the party structure with the National Chairman of the party and indigene of the state, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur. At the Nyako factional meeting, the stakeholders were said to have concluded arrangements to dump the PDP for the All Nigeria People’s Party, ANPP from where they would be registered in the APC. They were also reportedly briefed by some of their leaders on the plan by other governors of PDP controlled states, especially in the north to move out en-mass for the new opposition party.
