I remain a member of PDP - Gov. Aliyu
(Nigeria) Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger on Tuesday denied media
reports that he had defected from the ruling People’s Democratic Party, PDP, to
the All Progressives Congress, APC.
``I remain a member of the PDP,’’ Aliyu said in a statement
signed by his Chief Press Secretary,
Danladi Ndayebo, in Minna.
The governor said that he was shocked by the announcement of
the merger between the PDP splinter group and APC even before a final decision
was taken on the matter.
Aliyu said that he was not present at the meeting where the
merger deal was sealed between the Baraje-led PDP faction and APC leaders.
He, however, said that there were ongoing talks with
President Goodluck Jonathan, adding that he would await the outcome of the
negotiation before taking a final decision.
