PDP in trouble as mass defection looms after tribunal verdict









There is trouble in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party following former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s loss at the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal on Wednesday.



The development, it was gathered, has made some members of  Board of Trustees of the PDP  to travel to  Dubai in the United Arab Emirates on Saturday (today) to engage in what one of our correspondents gathered was tagged ‘‘strategic consultation’’ with Atiku.



The meeting, it was learnt, was necessitated as a result of wrangling among senior members of the party.









Investigations also showed that the allegation by the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, that some governors of the party were visiting President Muhammadu Buhari at night was also causing ripples among its senior members.



Wike had also alleged that members of the committee set up by the BoT to investigate the emergence of Ndudi Elumelu as the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives were corrupt.



While the PDP and Atiku rejected the tribunal’s judgment and had signified their intention to approach the Supreme Court, Wike had congratulated Buhari.









Already, it was learnt that some members of the party had been strategising on how to defect from the PDP to the ruling All Progressives Congress.



Atiku is said to have been residing in the UAE for some time now.



The Chairman, PDP BoT, Senator Walid Jibrin, confirmed the trip to one of our correspondents in a telephone interview.
