The immediate past Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, has dumped the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, for the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA. Maku has subsequently emerged the governorship candidate for APGA for the February 2015 governorship election in Nasarawa State.
It would be recalled that Maku had been aggrieved over the outcome of the PDP’s guber primaries in the state in which Mr. Yusuf Agabi emerged winner, and called on the national leadership of the party to cancel the results, but his request wasn’t granted.
Sources at the APGA headquarters in Abuja who pleaded anonymity disclosed that Maku’s name was submitted by the party before the December 26 deadline set by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as deadline for party’s to submit the names of their governorship candidates.
Other candidates submitted by the party as governorship candidates are the National Secretary of APGA, Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi, who is contesting for the Zamfara governorship seat, former Minister of Interior, Emmanuel Iheanacho (Imo State), Senator Anthony Agbo (Ebonyi State), and the former Managing Director of Diamond Bank, Alex Otti (Abia State).(Today Online News)
