Start Writing Your Handover Notes, G-7 Tells Jonathan
The defunct Abubakar Kawu Baraje-led splinter group of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, which prior to yesterday, had in its fold, the G7 governors, has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to start writing his handover notes ahead of the 2015 presidential election.
According to the group in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, joining the All Progressives Congress (APC), the opposition party was now the majority party in the country while it said it tagged PDP as a minority party, “In the circumstances, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan must now start writing his handover notes because his ambition to maouevre the party structures so as to get a third term in office in 2015 has suddenly collapsed,” he said.
On dumping the PDP, Eze said, “Now, we have reached the stage that we can only say: “PDP, your sinking ship has been abandoned to you! You brought this misfortune upon yourself, now you must bear it alone. As for us, we are happy to belong to the APC, where our value is appreciated, where we are made to feel truly wanted, and where we can now join forces with like minds in our struggle to liberate Nigeria from PDP’s misrule, which is soon to end.”
