THE ruling All Progressives' Congress may soon retire to its former position as the opposition party in the country if the reports reaching DailyGlobeWatch are anything to go by.
Secret meetings , our source revealed, by former PDP chieftains who defected to the party ahead of the 2015 general elections are being held ahead of 2019 general elections. Recall chieftains then labelled as 'rebel governors' comprising defected from the then ruling party, the Peoples' Democratic Party, (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress, one of the reasons why PDP suffered a defeat in the 2015 elections.
However, following the trend of events in the new party under which they are serving under the Buhari-led administration, some of the defectors have reportedly suffered humiliation which has in no uncertain terms led to huge regret why they ever had to leave then ruling party.
Our source further revealed that owing to a number of factors which keep repeating itself like a recurring decimal, the party bigwigs have been meeting secretly with a view giving the ruling party a tough time in 2019 presidential election.
One of the aggrieved chieftains, for Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwanso, DailyGlobeWatch reliably gathered has on many occasions been humiliated by his successor particularly the recent armed invasion of his house in Kano by armed policemen on the orders of his former deputy now governor of the state. Another reason tendered for his plans to dump the party is the smear campaign against him by Governor Ganduje alleging his former boss Rabiu Kwankwanso defrauded the state by some dubious projects he did while he served as governor of the state. These , among others, informed Kwankwanso's rethink if he took the right decision at the period under review to dump the Peoples' Democratic Party.
Bukola Saraki, Nigeria's number three citizen has also not been left out in the string of regrets haunting the defectors. He remains the first Nigerian senate president to enter the dock over charges bordering on corruption.
His ongoing travails, our source said ,has made the nation's number three man to soliloquise ask at some point: “Would this have happened to me in my former party?”
Kawu Baraje, Saraki's strongman is not happy either, he has reportedly accompanied the Senate President the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on all occasions and in April this year was left with no option but to issue a strongly-worded warning to APC leaders that he might be dump the party if the issues that made him leave PDP continue to arise in his new party, the ruling All Progressives' Congress stating that the APC has performed abysmally bad in the last one year.
