Governors in Nigeria elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will be meeting in Abuja, the capital of the country, to brainstorm on the best strategy to counter the mass defections that have hit the party.
This revelation is contained in a report by which quoted a source as saying: “More than 20 governors would attend and they have a strong agenda which is to ensure that there would be no ripple effects in the states where we all know the bulk of the problem lies.
“And you know what governors can do; they are all out to fight back because the fight is mostly at the state level; Buhari will definitely defeat whoever the PDP would field as candidate.
“But most importantly, we are not losing sleep because all those that left for the PDP would meet a worst scenario there; there are people who suffered for the PDP and would not agree to be dislodged.
“And you know what? Even Saraki is looking for the presidential ticket. Kwankwaso is also looking for the presidential ticket and do you think the likes of Atiku, Sule Lamido, Makarfi, Shekarau and multitude of presidential aspirants would just swallow their ambitions?
“Common, just wait and see, they would fight themselves to finish ahead of the primaries,” he said.
Currently, the APC has control of 24 of the 36 states in the federation, including Ekiti that the party recently won.
