3 PDP govs set to decamp – Wamakko

 Sokoto State Governor Aliyu Wamakko said yesterday that two Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors from the North and one from the South will soon de­camp to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC). He told reporters in Kaduna, venue of the APC North-West caucus meeting to strategize ahead of its zonal rally slated for Sokoto State early next month, that the party would pull surprises in 2015 general elections.

He said: “We met here to first and foremost put a functional zonal office and other offices in place before holding the zonal rallies to kick-start our party’s vic­tory stride by 2015.

“As I am talking to you now, three PDP governors have indicated their interest to join the APC between now and the end of September; two of the governors are from the North while the third one is from the South,” he said.Continue...

When asked to comment on allegations that he has an anointed governorship can­didate, he said, “only God makes a leader , I cannot tell you who will succeed me in Sokoto State”.

On the defection of former Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) boss, Nuhu Ribadu from APC to PDP, he said, he cannot comment on that because he is a man of his own who can take deci­sions for himself.

Others at the meeting were Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, for­mer Governor of Zamfara State, Senator Ahmed Sani and the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Bello Masari, among other APC chieftains from the North-West.
