APC Chieftain in Borno Plans To Decamp To PDP

Hundreds of All Progressive Congress (APC),
stakeholders and political office holders from
Borno State have turned the Maitama house of
former governor and Borno political godfather,
Senator (Dr.) Ali Modu Sheriff into a Meca of a
sort.
It was gathered that the former Governor’s plan
to dump the APC is attracting unprecedented
followership, with two out of the three Borno
senators indicating seriousness to join the PDP
move.
LNNG(Latest News in Nigeria) gathered that among the eight APC
members of the House of Representatives from
Borno, six of them have already pitched their tent
with ‘Oga Sheriff’.
It was also learnt that 17 members of the Borno
State House of Assembly were among hundreds
of APC stakeholders from Borno, who recently
visited the Abuja home of the political icon to
show respect, loyalty and allegiance to him.
Among the 21 Borno Commissioners, 16 were
reported to have either gone to Abuja or sent
representatives for the same purpose as the other
APC stakeholders.
A close associate of the Borno Governor, Kashim
Shettima, who did not want his name in print also
told us that the governor is in serious
dilemma with the news that some of his most
trusted allies are turning the table against him
with their recent visit to Abuja.
It was also gathered that recently, Governor
Shettima was in the home of some of them.
According to the source, they told the Governor
that they were not angry with him, but that they
chose to stay away from the Government House
because they were getting tired of politics.
However, they were reported to have indicated
interest in the new PDP structure to be formed by
the former Governor Sheriff after the Ramadan
fast.
It was reliably gathered from close associates
of the former governor that the planned move to
PDP by former governor Ali Modu Sheriff has
already been perfected, as the PDP under
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has promised
to fulfill all conditions given to him by the former
governor.
