Confusion In PDP As APC Now Has 23 Governors
The battle to wrestle power from the PDP at the centre come 2015 is getting interesting by the day. The ruling party is suffering some major international crises and, this is exactly what the opposition is praying for as it is to their benefit.
As at the last count, another 13 governors including some who are against the continuation of President Goodluck Jonathan in office beyond 2015, have secretly joined the APC.
Governor Rochas Okorocha gave an insight into this during the Freedom Rally at the Heroes Square in Owerri, Imo State. He said, following the latest development, it is only a matter of time before the APC take over Aso Rock from the PDP.
Okorocha said the PDP has failed the people for the 12 years of democracy, adding that the entire Ndigbo are now for the APC.
“When the great and mighty said no you stood behind me; by this singular gesture power has returned to the people,” he said, referring to the battle he fought against the PDP before becoming governor.
In his remarks, Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola described the APC as a “great train of change.” According to him, “We have set about a course irrevocable committed to giving power back to the people.”
Mewanwhile, the APC governors have criticised the situation in Rivers State, saying that it is inappropriate for certain forces to intimidate the Governor Rotimi Amaechi - led administration.
Underground work is already in place for Governor Amaechi to dump the PDP and move over to the APC, as soon as he is re-elected Chairman of Governors Forum.
