The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said that it has almost concluded discussions with “6 All Progressives Congress, APC, Governors, and 27 APC members of the National Assembly, to defect to the party”, any moment from now.
The party added that: “The Governors and Lawmakers had also drawn their consultations, and secured the mandates of their Constituents to move to the PDP, ahead of the 2019 general elections.”
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, revealed in a statement, in Abuja, on Wednesday, that the discussions would be completed in a couple of weeks, after which the Governors and Lawmakers will announce their defection to the PDP.
Ologbondiyan disclosed that the affected Lawmakers have promised to defect from the ruling party to the PDP, as soon as the two Chambers of the National Assembly resume sitting.
He said: “However, in line with decisions reached at the discussions, the members of the National Assembly decamping to the PDP, will cross-carpet at the reconvening of session in the two Chambers, which will increase the PDP majority in both Chambers.
“The party wishes to assure its members that all grey areas of the agreement, including issues of waivers and accommodation for participation in primaries, are being smoothened out by the former Governor Liyel Imoke-led PDP Contact and Integration Committee, which has been galvanising our alliances among Stakeholders across other parties, including those from the APC.
“The PDP also commends the spirit of tolerance, dialogue, accommodation, and oneness of purpose, that pervade the alliance among members.”
