The caretaker committee also reiterated its commitment to implement all decisions reached by the party especially in the areas of internal democracy and rebuilding the party.
Meanwhile, a report by PM News indicates that Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara state may dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC any moment soon.
Legit.ng gathered that top-placed sources in the ruling party said the quest to get a second term in office in 2023 is the major reason behind the governor’s move to the APC.
According to the report, the source said the governor has been told that there’s no guarantee of a second term if he remains in the PDP.
In a related report, some prominent members of the PDP, including governors and senators, have visited Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara state in a bid to stop his reported move to return to the ruling APC.
According to Daily Trust, six PDP governors and other chieftains of the party met with Governor Matawalle in Gusau, the state capital, on Wednesday, April 7.
The governors in attendance were: Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Darius Ishaku (Taraba), Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), and Umaru Fintiri (Adamawa).
