Meanwhile, promoters of the mega party are moving to ensure that the party has a complete national outlook with faces from all geopolitical zones on board. Crucial to the move, it was learned, is the enrolment of some former governors mostly of the former ruling party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, into the mega party.
Against earlier projections of the Senate President being hounded out of office, Senator Saraki, it was learned by Vanguard, has become a beautiful bride to those in the APC who want to remain and those who want to opt out.
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar, had repeatedly been mentioned as among those to leave for the mega party.
Atiku and Saraki had forged a sort of collaboration before the National Assembly leadership election in 2015 as supporters of both men within the APC and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, closed ranks to throw up Saraki as Senate President as against the inclination of the Tinubu/Buhari tendency in the ruling APC who wanted Ahmed Lawan then.
However, multiple sources confirmed to Vanguard that Buhari’s associates, following the fallout with Tinubu in Kogi and Ondo States, have opted to collaborate with Saraki to ensure the realisation of the President’s second term ambition in 2019.
Towards that end, Saraki is becoming a key political strategist within the Buhari political tendency.
