Share, former governor of Rivers state, from the Peoples Democratic Party by loyalists of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar gathered momentum last weekend, TheCable understands.
The All Nigeria Peoples Party , which started as All Peoples Party in 1999, was the strongest opposition party in the country, controlling nine states between 1999 and 2003.However, a protracted internal crisis soon divided the party and it was left with just three states by 2007, after which it paled into insignificance before dissolving into the All Progressives Congress in 2013.
The defeat of the Atiku loyalists in the national assembly, led by former governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, was considered another kick in the teeth.But most members of the national working committee are reportedly on Wike’s side or opposed to Atiku, making the move to expel the ministerial nominee more complicated.
TheCable previously reported that PDP members loyal to Atiku are moving against Umar Ililya Damagum, the acting national chairman, over allegations that he is working for Wike.Atiku, party insiders told TheCable, has been unhappy with Damagum for allegedly hobnobbing with Wike.
