Kano State governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on Thursday said the new national chairman of the PDP, Ali Modu Sherriff, would end up working for the ruling APC in 2019, against his claim that PDP would reclaim power in 2019.
Governor Ganduje said this on in Abuja while responding to questions from journalists at the monthly APC media roundtable.
According to him, the new PDP chairman does not have the clout to restore power to any party.
“I do not wish to engage in cross fire, but I will like to tell you that it is the normal utterance of one who wants to impress his followers.
“I believe it is an empty threat. Looking at the antecedents, the history of the chairman himself, we all know he is a cross-carpeter.
“He is always on the move in changing from one party to another. Even when he was in All Nigerian People’s Party (ANPP) for eight years, he was working for the Peoples Democratic Party.
“Even the APC started with him, and then he went back to the PDP and we were happy. I am sure in the long run he will work for us, and that is what I believe.
“We are happy because we believe in the long run he would work for us; find out his history, you will believe me,” he said.
