There is apprehension in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) following rumours that four of its governors are working secretly for the opposition.
According to Saturday Vanguard, the Presidency is now 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. The review showed that PDP would lose election in the affected states because of the activities of the governors.
Saturday Vanguard quoted a “competent source” in Abuja as saying 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 revealed further to Vanguard, 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 is being careful about taking action because of the impending elections.
