The G-5 governors that defected to the APC from the PDP are \u2013 Murtala Nyako(Adamawa); Musa Kwankwaso(Kano); Aliyu Wamako(Sokoto); Abdulfattah Ahmed(Kwara); and Rotimi Ameachi(Rivers).<\/p>\n
He noted that there was no meeting where such an agreement was reached\u00a0 that the defected governors from the PDP\u00a0 should be automatically made leaders of APC in their states.<\/p>\n
Shekarau, who is also a\u00a0 presidential candidate of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party in the 2011 general elections,\u00a0 added that he wouldn\u2019t have disputed the idea if it had followed the due process or if all the party leaders had met to agree on it.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cI challenged our northern APC chairman Bello Masari to tell us the time, date and at what meeting it was agreed that the said state governors should be made chairmen of the party in their states. Is it at a meeting of 35 party members which was never held or was it at a meeting of party elders?<\/p>\n
\u201cOur National Chairman, Bisi Akande, only went with a few APC governors to meet with some PDP leaders and now they are talking of an agreement. Let him (Masari) provide the copy of the said agreement to newsmen to enable the public to know the content of the agreement and where it was agreed upon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shekarau, who expressed concern over the development, explained that before he and other aggrieved members of the party complained on the said agreement, he had sought clarification from some party elders who told him there was no such an agreement.<\/p>\n
But when contacted, the Interim National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said there was a subsisting agreement, to allow governors drive the process in the states.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cWe did agree with the new PDP governors that whatever rights our APC governors enjoy they would enjoy and prior to their coming, we agreed that governor in our states would drive the process and that the governors in the states would appoint interim chairmen.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo that extent whatever our governors enjoy as soon as they became APC governors they will enjoy them and nobody can deny that.\u201d<\/p>\n
