BREAKING NEWS: APC Threat Forces PDP, APGA, Labour Party Governors, Lawmakers Into Crucial Meeting

The growing influence of the All Progressives
Congress is forcing a major re-alignment in
the House of Representatives as leaders of
three major parties met with their
lawmakers on Tuesday evening at the
National Assembly complex in Abuja.
The meeting which was still on as at 9:45 p.m. was
attended by governors of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, Labour Party, and the All Progressives
Grand Alliance, APGA. The National Chairman of
the PDP, Adamu Mu'azu, was also at the meeting.
Some of the governors at the meeting include
Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom, PDP), Olusegun
Mimiko (Ondo, Labour Party), and Peter Obi
(Anambra, APGA).
The meeting was also attended by members of the
House of Representatives from the three parties.
A revelation from the meeting was when House
leader, Mulikat Akande, said the PDP had promised
all its lawmakers automatic tickets for 2015
election, ostensibly to deter them from decamping
to the APC. She asked the PDP not to renege on its
promise.
The APC has recently benefited from a wave of
defections of PDP lawmakers in the House thus
making the former the majority in the congress.
The opposition party also recently asked its
lawmakers to frustrate bills by the presidency until
law and order is restored in Rivers State, a state
where the governor, Rotimi Amaechi, recently
decamped, alongside four others, to the APC.
The PDP, APGA, and Labour Party lawmakers have
vowed to resist the APC directive while the party's lawmakers said they would abide by it.
