But we call on Nigerians to team up with the PDP to help win back the nation of our collective dream.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Efforts to get APC leaders\u2019 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 \u2018one term\u2019 scenario will balance the power rotation issue and facilitate the quick return of power to the North in 2027 if the move sailed through.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spokesman of the PDP, Debo Ologunagba has dismissed speculations linking Jonathan to the APC.
