2019: PDP targets APC gov, senator for Presidency
Preparatory to the 2019 general elections, the leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is banking on seven people to challenge the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the presidential contest.
The PDP’s plan is in place whether or not President Muhammadu Buhari is going to seek re-election in the poll scheduled to hold on February 16, 2019. New Telegraph was reliably informed by high ranking sources within the main opposition party, which the PDP is banking on the candidacy of five of its members and two others expected to come from the APC.
The two APC stalwarts expected to join the PDP are a former Governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and a serving Northern governor.
