The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has appointed a former National Chairman of the Party, Dr. Ahmadu Ali, to preside over the campaign train of President Goodluck Jonathan.
The appointment was confirmed by The national secretary of the party, Prof, Wale Oladipo in a statement issued Monday.
The PDP also used the medium to call on the likes of former Governor of Oyo State, Chief Bayo Alao-Akala, who is now a member of the Labour Party; a former Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Samuel Ortom (All Progressives Congress); and a former National Chairman of the party, Senator Bernabas Gemade as well as Princewill Tonye of Rivers State who defected from the party to return to its fold.
The statement further insisted “There is no mass defection in the PDP. I’m assuring you of that. In politics, you win some, you lose some. That’s what we did in Oyo, Sokoto, Kwara and other states.
“We are not shocked (by the defections). When the former Governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, took our mandate to another party, God gave it back to us miraculously.
“In Kwara, when the governor and others took our mandate to the opposition, God brought Dele Belgore and others to us.
“In Sokoto, when the governor also took our mandate away, God gave us Attahiru Bafarawa. The same thing is happening in Oyo and other states where we are gaining members,” he said.
