Buhari, APC and the ‘Dangers’ of Defections
Buhari, APC and the ‘Dangers’ of Defections
In 1999, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) had 21 state governors, the then All Peoples Party (APP) had 9, while the Alliance for Democracy (AD) had 6. As at May 30, 2007 PDP controlled 30 states, ANPP controlled 4, All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) – 1, AD -1. As at June 2021, the PDP is in control of only 13 states, the All Progressive Congress (APC) controls 22, while APGA controls 1.
In 2007, PDP became bloated with every politician willing to join, with the party having a large number of governors who became very powerful and controlled every aspect of the party including many appointments made by the then-President. This was the genesis of PDP’s crisis.
