The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) John Odigie-Oyegun on Wednesday said five governors from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have pledged to join the APC before the February 14 presidential elections.
While Oyegun, who spoke to journalists in Benin, did not reveal the identities of the governors, he, however, said some of them were from the North. He said he had met with them and that they had started preparing to announce their defection to the opposition party along with their supporters.
“Let me reveal to you people today that very very soon, you will hear of an earthquake that will consume PDP in this country. As I’m talking to you people now, I have held meetings with some governors that want to join the APC from the PDP. Let me not release the cat out of the bag. But let me assure you that few hours to the presidential and National Assembly elections, the PDP canoe will sink.
“You can see that our President and his party PDP have engaged in one character assassination or the other, yet we are focusing on our campaigns of issues and not names calling.
“The hand writing is so clear , February 14th , 2015 is love day , that date is a special day for our party , as from that day Jonathan will start to park his belongings away from Aso Rock,” Oyegun said.
The APC national chairman insisted that there was no genuine to postpone the general elections. He tacitly suggested the postponement may be a ploy by the PDP to come with a plan to rig the elections.
“The elections cannot be postponed and they cannot rig it either. Just go there that day, vote and protect it. It is evidently clear that PDP and Jonathan are running scared.
“It is laughable that an NSA, Col. Dasuki, that cannot advice the President on how to tackle insurgency in Nigeria, is calling for elections’ postponement.”
