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.
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.
