Indications have emerged that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has engaged some party leaders, including former
Governor Wike and four of his colleagues, Seyi Makinde , Samuel Ortom , Okezie Ikpeazu and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi , had alongside other party leaders distanced themselves from the party’s presidential campaign council.
It was, however, gathered that the new effort to woo the Wike camp could have forced the party to reschedule its campaign rallies for Kebbi and Zamfara States today. It was learnt that the directorate fixed a meeting for late yesterday night to restrategise on its rallies. Another party source told LEADERSHIP that the advisory body was billed to submit the report to the party yesterday.
Nnamani, a two-time former governor of Enugu state from 1999- 2007, said it is sheer arrogance on the part of the party leadership to ignore a critical group of five sitting governors. “Without the involvement of the governors that are our leaders , these mere cheer leaders and feel-good political operatives cannot deliver.
Speaking at the LEADERSHIP Twitter Spaces, a weekend conversation that highlights issues and intrigues ahead of the 2023 elections, speakers across party lines said the Labour Party and the Obidient Movement were ready to surprise people in the polls. “The statement we want to make is to say that everyone can decide the future of the country, ” he said.
“In the APC, the Muslim-Muslim ticket is a problem for them. In Kebbi State, Adamawa, Nasarawa, Benue, Kaduna, Plateau, they have huge Christian populations. Both APC and PDP are working hard to disorganise the Obidient Movement but it won’t work, “Ogbonna said. “We have an electoral system that has been improved upon and many of the governors are working for the Obidient Movement, ” he said.
