While admitting that the former President had indeed been absent in PDP events in recent times, he insisted that proper apologies were sent given Jonathan’s international standing today.
“We don’t want to join issues with a sinking party which continues to fool Nigerians all the time. This time, they are flying a kite that Dr. Jonathan is likely to join them.
“All I can say is that the leadership of the Dr. Iyorchia Ayu-led National Working Committee is reaching out to members of the party including the former President to join hands with it to help rebuild and rescue Nigeria.
“APC is a special duty vehicle invented to crash Nigeria on a purposeless journey called next level. But we call on Nigerians to team up with the PDP to help win back the nation of our collective dream.
“I insist that we are not aware of our esteemed international states and, Dr. Jonathan entering into any form of talks with the APC in a bid to join them,” he said.
Efforts to get APC leaders’ position on the issue at press did not yield dividends. However, chieftains of the party said Jonathan would have a tough nut to crack in APC even though his ‘one term’ scenario will balance the power rotation issue and facilitate the quick return of power to the North in 2027 if the move sailed through.
