2019: Four PDP Governors working for APC – Senator Jibrin

Abdulmumin Jibrin, a member of the House of Representatives from Kano
State has claimed that at least four Governors in the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), are working with the All Progressives Congress
(APC) ahead of the 2019 election.

Jibrin, who refused to reveal the identities of the Governors,
explained that they have a "cross-party arrangement" with the APC.

Addressing journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, Jibrin said: "At the
moment, not less than four to five PDP governors are working in a
cross-party arrangement to support the APC in the next presidential
election."

He added that the ruling party is "not shaking", despite losing many
of its key members in the last one week.

Jibrin, however, said adequate measures were being put in place to
ensure that the party's "strongholds remain intact."

"If the APC were presenting another candidate other than President
Muhammadu Buhari, I would have been a bit jittery about the defections
but there is this consensus within the party with Buhari as our
presidential candidate.

"Those people against Buhari in Nigeria are just a group of elites
with no electoral value. And so in the next election is going to be
between some sections of the elites verses the masses," the lawmaker
added.
