UPDATE: Three More PDP Governors Set To Decamp To APC

Sokoto State Governor Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko has revealed that three governors from the PDP are set to join the leading National opposition party, that All Progressive Congress (APC).

Two of the governors to join the opposition are from the North. The other one is from the South, he said and that their move will happen in September.

Wamakko said: “We met here to first and foremost put a functional zonal office and other offices to fill the gap and to hold zonal rallies to kick start our party’s victory stride by 2015. 

“As I am talking to you now, three PDP governors are set 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.”

Wamakko made the revelations in Kaduna last night for the APC Northwest caucus meeting to strategise with a view to taking over power from the PDP in 2015.

When asked to comment on allegations that he has an anointed candidate to take over from him, the governor said: “Only God makes leaders, I cannot tell you who will succeed me in Sokoto State.”

On the defection of former EFCC chairman, Nuhu Ribadu from the APC to the PDP, he declined comment on the issues because, according to him, Ribadu is a man of his own who can take decisions for himself.
