Indications that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) group of
seven governors (G7) are joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) has
emerged, with the party setting up a committee to work out power sharing
arrangement between the group and old members of the party. Spokesperson of the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, confirmed the
move to the Nigerian Tribune. The committee, according to him, was headed by the former
governor of Edo State, John Oyegun and was to work out modalities for the
sharing of party offices and elective positions between supporters of the
governors and chieftains of the party.
There have been reports of some members of APC kicking
against the imminent entry of the PDP governors, on the fear that the party
structures in the seven states would be handed over to the newcomers. The states to be considered in the new arrangement included
Kwara, Sokoto, Niger, Kano, Jigawa, Rivers and Adamawa.
