Revealed-- More Governors May Soon Dump PDP

                      Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue State, Governor of Enugu State, Sullivan Chime and Liyel Imoke of Cross River State

                      The Benue state Governor Gabriel Suswam, Liyel Imoke from Cross River and Enugu state Governor Sullivan Chime may soon leave the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Three key governors supportive of the President Goodluck government, Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue State; Governor of Enugu State, Sullivan Chime and Liyel Imoke of Cross River State may dump the party.
Their complaint followed unsettled political crisis in their states by the PDP’s national secretariat.
Gabriel Suswam, the Governor of Benue State, may leave the ruling PDP for one of the opposition parties in Nigeria, the Labor Party, to realize his senatorial ambition.
His Cross River counterpart, Liyel Imoke, is supposedly and is intimidating to join the All Progressives Congress, APC following the PDP’s choice of Senator Victor Edoma Egba.
Similarly, Enugu State Governor, Sullivan Chime, who is also bitter over the party’s decision to allow the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu to run on the ticket of the PDP instead of him (Chime), is considering defecting the party to run on the platform of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA for the senatorial seat.
It was reported that curtly after a meeting, where President Goodluck Jonathan and the management of the PDP accepted automatic tickets to 40 out of 72 PDP senators, who want to return to the red chamber, the governors were affected.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar defected his party the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the All Progressives Congress, APC, months ago.
House of Representatives speaker Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, has recently defected from the ruling party to APC which caused a highly-publicized scandal in Nigeria’s politics.
