SCARED that governors may “hijack” tomorrow’s National Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar yesterday rushed to former Military President Ibrahim Babangida to join forces with other founders of the party to save the situation.
The ex-Vice President, who has met with some of the governors, was suspecting that they might be working for another presidential aspirant.
He believes once the governors take control of the party, he may be at their mercy.
The ex-VP is insisting on a level-playing ground at the convention for the emergence of true leaders, who can conduct presidential primaries next year without prejudice.
Former Delta State Governor James Ibori and some ex-governors have joined forces with Atiku to checkmate the PDP governors being coordinated by Governor Nyesom Wike
For the umpteenth time, Babangida on Wednesday warned the Chairman of the party’s Caretaker Committee, Sen. Ahmed Makarfi, and others against monetisation of the convention.
