Tension is said to be brewing in the All Progressives Congress over suspected move by the former President Buhari to join the SDP.
Led by the Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, who is the Chairman of the All Progressives Governors Forum, the governors held a closed-door meeting with Buhari.
Addressing journalists after the meeting, Uzodimma said the visit was to look after Buhari’s well-being, describing him as the father of the APC.
However, the meeting came amid the defection of some of Buhari’s loyalists from the APC to the Social Democratic Party.
First to defect was former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, who claimed to have obtained Buhari’s blessing to dump the APC.
Mid-March, it was reported that some former ministers who served in Buhari’s cabinet were perfecting plans to move en masse to the SDP.
In Buhari’s Katsina home state, some members of the APC have defected to the SDP.
