As the 2015 general election is fast approaching, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party(PDP) is seriously considering a move to join the progressives after the merger of three major parties- Action Congress of Nigeria, (ACN), Congress For Progressives Change (CPC) and All Nigerian People’s Party (ANPP) to form the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Atiku, whom we gathered has been making moves to get back into the decision making of PDP may announce his membership of APC. The source went further to disclose that Atiku has been having meetings with some Northern leaders including former President Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida who have both been excluded from PDP activities because of their perceived power to hijack the structure of the party. We gathered that, the former VP and other Northern leaders have been clamouring for power shift to the north in 2015 in spite of the fact that President Jonathan has indicated his intention to re-contest in 2015 election. Information has it that, the recent face-off among some Northern PDP Governors could also be traced to Atiku’s caucus in the PDP, all in his efforts to remain relevant in PDP or join another party to actualize the dream of the north in 2015. Meanwhile, the APC has indicated that its presidential candidate will come from the north in order to appease the aggrieved northern politicians. We gathered that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar may join the APC to carry the party’s flag coupled with the fact that he has been a close friend of National Leader of ACN, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

CLARION CALL TO LAGOS BIG BOY, GBOLAHAN ODUSANYA
Lagos big boy and politician, Gbolahan Odusanya may be having a rethink now after several attempts by his people to convince him to contest in the next general election come 2015. In 2011 general election, Gbolahan was persuaded by the leaders of ACN in Lagos Island Constituency including Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to drop his ambition for Hon. Yakub Balogun who now represents the constituency at the House of Representatives. Odusanya was recently sent a memo by a popular Facebook group, Christian Conscience where he was told to have a rethink on his political ambition. The message sent to the CEO of Corner 47 goes thus: “Gbolahan Ogundimu Odusanya 2015 is here….are you going to forever wait like you have always been asked to? Have you been compensated for stepping down all these years at different points? Despite your heavy funding of the party machinery and strong grassroots base support..Omogbolahan you have been short changed all these years simply because everything you plan with them is altered when they travel to that destination you can’t access…These and more are what Christian Conscience is correcting. .Wake up man.”.
