A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain and former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has said there are signs that the All Progressives Congress (APC) may soon split, with its National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, and others possibly defecting to the PDP, TRIBUNE reports.
The former governor made this disclosure while delivering his keynote address at the PDP congress held at Aminu Kano Triangle in Jigawa.
He said, “I’m confident that all those who left the PDP will return, including Ganduje, because very soon, the APC will burst and split into factions, having accommodated people with different mindsets.
“I said it, and I repeat: within six months, all those who defected to the APC will come back, and the PDP will rise with full force to wrest power in 2027.”
The ex-foreign affairs minister urged party members not to be discouraged by the defection of some elected officials under the PDP to the ruling APC, attributing their actions to fear of intimidation and harassment.
Lamido’s criticism of the APC comes amid growing concerns over the wave of defections from opposition parties to the ruling party.
