Just when the storm accompanying the postponement of the elections is abating, the presidency is in a new fix!
Vanguard reports that the presidency is in a fix concerning four of its governors who are working secretly for the opposition party. This came to the notice of the president when some of the activities of these four governors were reviewed and checked.
It was made known that even the campaign strategies of these four governors in their states are all geared towards bringing the opposition party to power, which clearly indicates that the Peoples Democratic party will lose in the four states come March and April.
According to an authoritative source, both President Jonathan and the PDP are angry about this new development, which they are calling an act of betrayal.The party does not, however, know how to deal with the four governors for hiding under the umbrella of the PDP to work for the main opposition party, All Progressives Congress. The constitution does not allow them to be dealt with since they are still in the party.
The source made it known that these governors are from the north west
and north east of the country. One governor annoyed President Jonathan
because not only did he give N25 million in support of the opposition
candidate campaign, but he also directed his officials to give maximum
logistical support to the Buhari campaign team during their campaign in
the state on February 3 this year. The same governor was said to have
displayed a ‘lukewarm disposition’ to Jonathan’s campaign team by not
helping with enough rally support when the president came to his state.
The governor also came late to the rally venue during the presidential
rally in his state on January 31.
The governor is reported to have delayed the inauguration of the
presidential campaign team in the state until the eve of the
presidential visit, thereby adversely affecting the success of the
rally.
As a result of the sympathy of a north east governor for the APC, he is said to have displayed a lackadaisical attitude towards the visit of Jonathan to his state last month.
The president was said to have been surprised by the near empty stadium upon his arrival for the campaign in the state.
However, Vanguard learnt that none of the governors had shown remorse over their ‘betrayal’ by not speaking out against some of the wrongs openly committed by their agents against the presidential campaign teams in their respective states.
This has aggravated the presidency’s disappointment in these four governors.
It will be recalled that just yesterday, the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, said the use of the Electronic Management Tool to be used for the 2015 elections is a good idea but it must be properly tested before use.
