Presidency in dilemma over four Govs’s secret alliance with APC

With the storm over the shift of polls yet to settle, the Presidency has run into a fix over what to do with four of its governors said to be secretly working for the success of the opposition in the rescheduled elections.



Saturday Vanguard learnt yesterday that the Presidency became convinced that the four governors were not sincerely working for the success of the ruling party after reviewing their activities in relations to the presidential campaigns in their respective states.

It was gathered that an appraisal carried out by security agents and placed at the disposal of the ruling party clearly indicated that PDP would lose election in the affected states because of the activities of the governors.

A competent source told Saturday Vanguard in Abuja that both Jonathan and his party were upset that the governors were hiding under the party to work for the APC, thereby making it difficult for them to be promptly dealt with in line with the constitution of the party.

The source said that although the action of the four governors drawn from the North West and North East of the country had been discussed extensively by the Presidency and the PDP, the party and the president were in a fix on what to do with ‘traitors’ because of the impending elections.

The President is said to be particularly irked by the action of one of the PDP governors from the North East, who did not only give the sum of N25 million in support of the opposition candidate campaign but also directed his officials to give maximum logistics support to the Buhari Campaign team during their campaign in the state on February 3 this year.

The same governor, it was learnt, however showed what a presidency source described as a ‘lukewarm disposition’ to the Jonathan’s Campaign team by not mobilising enough support for the presidential rally in his state and arriving late to the venue of the campaign.

The governor is said to have unwittingly exposed disloyalty and disdain to the President and his party by coming to the venue of the rally six minutes before the arrival of the presidential team, thereby leaving several things undone and ending up embarrassing the first family and his party when they went to campaign in the state on January 31.

The governor is reported to have delayed the inauguration of the Presidential Campaign Team in the state until the eve of the presidential visit thereby making the team headed by a former Senator from the state, to hit the rocks in his effort to ensure a successful rally in the agricultural state. As a result of the sympathy of a North East governor for the APC, he is said to have displayed a lackadaisical attitude towards the visit of Jonathan to his state last month.

During the visit, the president was said to have been miffed by the near empty stadium that he noticed upon his arrival for the campaign in the state that is close to a desert.

The Presidency, Saturday Vanguard also learnt, was also hurt that none of the governors had shown remorse over their ‘betrayal’ by not speaking out against some of the wrongs openly committed by their agents against the presidential campaign teams in their respective states.

It was gathered that the Presidency was seriously disappointed that none of the affected governors had openly condemned the stoning of its presidential campaign train in their states while some of them turned round to blame some senior officers of the Presidency for the attacks.

The APC, which is fully aware of the tacit support of the four governors, almost went to make a formal announcement that they were set to defect but they were said to have persuaded the party not to do so, promising instead to quietly work and deliver their states to the opposition because of Buhari’s factor.

Asked what the Presidency would be doing to sanction the four governors, the source hinted that the Presidency was confused on what to do to them given the need to put its house in order and pursue the elections as a united party.

The source said that it would be counterproductive for the Presidency and the PDP to take any disciplinary action against the governors at this stage since the elections were already around the corner.

The development came as it emerged last night that the move to ‘discipline’ Prof Jega for alleged sympathy for the APC would be dropped if he jettisons the use of the card readers and permanent voter cards, PVCs for the elections.

The next thing now is to start hounding them with efcc, but you are still going down!

This is a result of Jonathan's failed and incompetent leadership. Nigerians cannot endure another 4 more years of his clueless reign.

Enough is Enough. Things must Change. Sai Buhari.

#IHaveDecided
GMB/PYO

Sai Buhari!

I will comment after Val.
Expecting GEJ media chat on Val to address the nation why everything is getting too expensive.


Jonathan should forget about re-election

dea av dier reasons for portinq to APC coz dea must av seen d handwriting on d wall
maYb dea relli nids CHANGE..

don't worry those were the anti activities you enjoy during the last election from ACN. so you should be deliberating on how to relocate back to your home town.

Mr president u will win

Jega should not jettison the idea of using the card reader and the PVC. PDP is box to the corner by the innovation, is going to be difficult to execute the rigging plan. Jonathan must fail and go back to his otueke.

That's what happens to incompetent leaders. when the wind of CHANGE blows, everyone obeys. for those who stand in the way, well, i don't need to tell you what happens to them. just use your imagination.

SAI BUHARI

IHAVEDECIDED

Exactly. they know that they can't easily rig, if INEC insists on going forward with the card reader, hence why they want it out of the way.

Am abut to say

What do you expect? they were members of the defunct "New PDP" govs who didn't decamp to APC. One of them made a statement that time and I wunt forget. something like... bt not exactly the way he said it "By the time we are through with our plans, nigerians will learn a new tactics to politics".

The word of God is true. Whatsoever a man soweth, he shall also reap. The president went to Ondo and Anambra States to support candidates of other parties while working against the PDP, how can he be angry when this is being done to him by PDP governors? BTW, wet in concern me,
Sai Buhari!

PDP in the throes of her Frankeistein Monsters.

So they want to leave Jega if he will not prevent them from rigging?

Whatever.... Such is life so, deal with it.

Oh...sorry. I forgot u were never able to deal decisively with anything and i dnt expect that to change soon

This is nonsense when will Nigeria change for the better?? and who in their right mind voted for that Muhammadu Buhari dude, boko haram will rule with an iron fist if he gets in office...

Hmmm... Govornor Isa yuguda of bauchi state giving his party heart-attack for awhile now.

My friend go and celebrate valentine and leave these issues for matured minds.
If you start your day by writing this trash, you know the rest.
Happy valentine's day Buhari,you are cherished by sensible Nigerians.
Good morning.

PDP, PDP,PDP, Now how many times have I called you.
3 times, Ok now listen

Pls leave APC and Buhari alone.

More revelations each passing day

What happen next

#MarchBack2Otueke #BuhariWeWant

The return to Otueke for GEJ is surer than night becoming day.

SAI BUHARI!

Mr Yuguda had been GMB'S boy b4 he defected to poverty development party, as a matter of fact; he won 2007 election against PDP candidate because of GMB's overwhelming influence. My question is, why did GEJ support APGA n LP in anambra n ondo respectively is that not anti party too?

makzeze:
PDP, PDP,PDP, Now how many times have I called you.
3 times, Ok now listen

Pls leave APC and Buhari alone.

After this election Buhari will commit sucide. After the last election Buhari cry like a baby.
