The outcome of botched agreements between governors elected on the platform of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) and the party leadership as well as President Goodluck Jonathan may set the stage for a showdown with the national chairman of the party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, and senate president David Mark
As part this showdown, the PDP governors would meet with President Jonathan on Tuesday night, apparently to get further assurances and commitment from him before his ratification at the December 10 national convention of the PDP.
THISDAY learnt that one of the south east states has concluded plans to defect to the opposition All Progressives Party (APC).
The governor in question is the Ebonyi state governor, Martin Elechi, and his grouse is that he has been stopped from presenting his preferred anointed successor ( Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu) for next year’s governorship election in the state
His albatross comprises a former governor of the state and a high-ranking member of the Federal Executive Council member.
