Why I Dumped APC For PDP -- Shekarau

The scramble to take advantage of the ongoing defection of prominent members of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) has continued to gain momentum among displaced politicians across the nation.



The latest in the attention-chasing adventure occurred on Monday with the former governor of Kano State, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau declaring for the PDP at the Yar ‘Adua centre, Abuja.

Shakarau, who formally announced his decision to join the ruling party, described the APC as a party without a structure.

Maintaining that the opposition could not be seen or touched, because it had lost its soul, the former Kano governor said he was leaving the APC because the party has become a political fraud.

Gang Up Against Jonathan, PDP Will Fail -- Gov. Theodore Orji

Gov. Theodore Orji of Abia said the current political gang up against Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and President Goodluck Jonathan, ahead of the 2015 general elections would not succeed.


Orji said this when he interacted with newsmen on the political manoeuvres by some past leaders to stop Jonathan’s second term presidential ambition in Umuahia on Friday.


``There will be gang up but they will never succeed. The president remained focused,’’ he said.


He explained that the party was getting stronger and stronger; there was a lot of re-engineering presently going on in the party.
