Political Merger: As Five Governors Swap From PDP To Join APC.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) five Governors and their decision to park up from their party to join the All Progressive Congress (APC), clearly had roots in unresolved grievances and grandstanding that evolved through months of political  calculating.  

Here are the list of governors:  Alhaji Murtala Nyako from Adamawa state, Alhaji Sule Lamido of Jigawa state, Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano state, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State, Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu of Niger State, Mr. Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers state and Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto State.

According to report who admitted that "they had in the build up to their joining the APC expressed grievances against the party leadership style, nationally and in their states".

Nevertheless, it all started with the emergence of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur as national chairman of the PDP, back in 2012, who was not a welcomed choice for the governors in the North-East side and became a back bone to the mind of some of the PDP governors which brought the departure of the five governors.

Meanwhile, The Tukur-led National Working Committee had barely settled to office when internal wranglings erupted majorly between Tukur and then National Secretary, Olagunsonye Oyinlola, who was eventually removed from office by a court ruling. He was subsequently reinstated following an appeal court ruling on the issue.

At the State appearance, the relationship between the Adamawa State governor, Nyako and Tukur Become progressively worse over the the authentic leadership of the state party in the state.

However, The Eko -oni baje group APC has just left only three State for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
APC is almost in same level with the ruling party PDP. but the ruling party PDP has three State above the APC's.
