Contrary to media reports that more Peoples’
Democratic Party, PDP, governors have agreed to
join the “New PDP” led by Abubakar Baraje, some
of the governors have distanced themselves from
the move.
The governors are the Plateau State Governor,
Jonah Jang; Kaduna State Governor, Ramalan Yero;
and the Enugu State Governor, Sullivan Chime.
Jang, who is the factional chairman of Nigeria
Governors’ Forum, denied being party to such plans.
He spoke through his Commissioner for Information
and Communication, Abraham Yiljap.
“I can only ask how can?” said Yiljap.
“How can he (Jang) abandon a house he built and
live in another person’s house. It is just unthinkable
and somebody’s wishful thinking,” he stressed.
Gov. Ramalan Yero of Kaduna State said reports
about him planning to join the New PDP were
untrue and the figment of the imagination of
mischief makers.
Speaking through Ahmed Maiyaki, his Director
General on Media and Publicity, Yero said, “This is
totally untrue. It is the figment of the imagination
of those behind such wild rumours.”
Enugu State Commissioner for Information, Mr.
Chuks Ugwoke, also dismissed insinuations that the
state Governor, Sullivan Chime, was planning to
ditch the Bamanga Tukur-led PDP for the New PDP.
According to him, “It is not true at all. That can
never happen. Never!
“It would never happen. Governor Chime is 100 per
cent with President Jonathan.The governor is even
the one making others to see reasons to be with
the President”, Ugwoke maintained.
