PDP Govs angry With Jonathan, Mu’azu, Mark More trouble is ahead for the troubled Peoples Democratic Party ahead of the 2015 general elections. This is because, some of its governors are angry with the national chairman of the party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu and senate president David Mark over the collapse of the deal President Goodluck Jonathan had with them before he was adopted as the sole presidential candidate of the party. The governor are angry that the President fell to the blackmail of senators who threatened to impeach him and thereby agreed with them (senators) that some of them be given authomatic tickets. The angry governors are meeting with President Jonathan on Tuesday night, to register their displeasure on the matter. The Tuesday meeting, it was gathered, would be meant to extract “some commitment from him” before his ratification during the December 10 national convention of the PDP. The commitment, it was learnt, would mean that the President would support their governorship candidates. Besides, it was also meant to make sure that the President if he wins in 2015, will not haunt them with anti-corruption agencies after leaving office in 2015. Two of the aggrieved governors, said that one of the PDP governors from the South-East states has concluded plans to defect to the opposition All Progressives Party. The governor is said to be angry that he has been stopped from presenting his preferred anointed successor for next year’s governorship election in the state. He was said to have complained to the President that one of his (President’s) aides and a former governor of the state were colluding with Mua’zu to install a successor he does not want.
