NPDP Drops Defection Threat, Meets Governors, Others For Truce
Threat by members of the nPDP to dump the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in protest against alleged marginalisation and harassment has been suspended for now.
The plan was shelved following the intervention of some governors and other APC leaders.
The Nationgathered that chieftains of the group met on Friday with some governors and other party leaders in Abuja who prevailed on them to remain in the APC and promised that their grievances would be looked into.
The Friday meeting came hours to the commencement of the party’s national convention which took place in Abuja yesterday.
One of the nPDP leaders, who craved anonymity, said the meeting became necessary because “it is time for ceasefire.”
At the meeting with the governors were a former governor, Senators,Reps and a member of the outgoing National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC.
