BREAKING: APC recruitment train arrives Adamawa as Buhari, Tinubu, others woo Nyako

Mr. Nyako said “the PDP is very, very sick”, adding, “If APC means making Nigeria a key player in Africa, or saving Nigeria, securing Nigeria, I don’t mind being in any political party.”
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is about to suffer a major setback as leaders of the New Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) appeared to have convinced Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa to cross to the opposition party.
The opposition politicians held a closed-door meeting with Mr. Nyako in Yola, the Adamawa state capital, on Friday as part of efforts to strengthen their ranks ahead of the 2015 general election.
The APC chieftains, including former Governor of Lagos , Bola Tinubu, and ex-Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, and APC National Chairman, Bisi Akande , said they were in the state to hold talks with Mr. Nyako and his teeming supporters.
During the meeting, held at the Banquet Hall of the Government House, Yola, Mr. Akande said their recruitment mission to the state was part of their drive to salvage the country from its present dilapidated state.
‘’Nigerians are now tired with the injustice and impunity across the land; hence their resolve to bring about change,” Mr. Akande said. “I can assure you that in APC, internal democracy will be enshrined. Please let’s not make mistake this time around. The time is ripe for change. Our discussions with other governors are very fruitful ahead of the proposed merger.’’
In the same vein, General Buhari reiterated Mr. Akande’s statement on their mission to Yola which is to persuade Mr. Nyako to join the APC.
“All what we are trying to do is to get this country out of the current mess,” he said. “In our bid to that, Adamawa state must join us to deliver this country. That is why we are here. We need peace and prosperity in this country.
Responding, Governor Nyako said he was still in the PDP but would always identify with like minds for the progress of the country.
“What we are doing today is not politics but showing concern for our future,” he said. “The fact that Buhari is here physically with other bigwigs portends hope. That leaders from various divides are meeting here gives Nigeria the hope that we are uniting for the good of the country.”
Mr. Nyako said “the PDP is very, very sick”, adding, “If APC means making Nigeria a key player in Africa, or saving Nigeria, securing Nigeria, I don’t mind being in any political party.”
