The governors described as unfounded, the allegation by the Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello while featuring in an interview on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ on Friday night, that about 10 governors under the PDP are set to join the APC.

Reacting through the Director General of the PDP Governors’ Forum, Hon. Cyril Maduabum, the governors said Yahaya Bello’s statement does not merit any response but they reacted for the fact that the blatant lie may demoralise PDP members and Nigerians who are not aware of the facts. 

The Director General in a statement Saturday said “it is obvious that this is a diversionary tactic to shore up the sagging morale of APC members who are ruing the loss of yet another state Governor, Godwin Obaseki of Edo State to the PDP, as a result of the chaos and anarchy currently existing in the APC, following the mismanagement of their affairs as acknowledged even by Mr President,  Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR.

“The PDP Governors are very focused on delivering good governance and the benefits of democracy to their respective states and working tirelessly to strengthen and reposition the party.

“There is no attraction whatsoever for any PDP member not to talk of a PDP Governor to join the APC, a party bedeviled by crises, without even an elected leadership as envisaged by Section 223 of the 1999 Constitution that specifically requires the Executive Committee of every political party in Nigeria to be democratically elected”. 

The PDP governors advised Governor Yahaya Bello to concentrate on providing good governance to the people of Kogi State.
