Cracks according to Vanguard are starting to appear in the political camp of former President Olusegun Obasanjo as his loyalists are divided- some want to remain in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, while others are in favour of defection to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Some of the ex-president’s loyalists, who ruled out the idea of defecting into APC, are reportedly behind President Goodluck Jonathan in his second term ambition.
At a meeting of the PDP caucus in Ogun State, held at Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Friday night, it was gathered that a motion was moved to decamp to APC by the Ogun East senatorial chairman, Chief Tayo Ajayi, and was seconded by another elder from Ogun West, Chief Shina Adejobi.
A counter motion was moved by a former lawmaker who represented Ifo I constituency at the state House of Assembly, Hon. Johnson Fatoki, before the motion was put to vote.
14 PDP chairmen out of the 20 across Ogun and two serving members of the state House of Assembly, Job Akintan and Abiodun Akovoyon, also allegedly countered the motion to join the APC.
After the move to join APC hit a brickwall, the two groups were advised to continue negotiating with the parties of their choice and report back to the house.
