APC mobilises against Jonathan, visits Obasanjo

The cloud overhang of mass mobilization that the All Peoples Congress, APC, has engendered appears to be getting heavier with the visit of the party’s leadership to former President Olusegun Obasanjo at his Abeokuta residence.
But the APC hierarchy would not stop at that, Sunday Vanguard can reveal authoritatively.
In fact, also slated for consultation in the coming weeks by the party’s top brass are Second Republic President and Vice President, Alhaji Shehu Usman Aliyu Shagari and Alex Ifeanyichukwu Ekwueme,
respectively, and former Minister of Defence, Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma. Before yesterday’s visit, the party leaders had consulted with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as well as two former military leaders, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida and General Abdulsalami Abubakar.
One of the party leaders in attendance at the meeting with Obasanjo told Sunday Vanguard that the “ill-wind blowing in the country as a result of the mis-governance of President Goodluck Jonathan is ominous and most right thinking leaders as opposed to the sycophants surrounding the President are worried.”
The leader pointed out, “Even those we have so far visited and those we are going to be visiting are also concerned”.
According to him, “what we are doing is not scouting for leaders to come and join the party. What we just want to establish is that since we are all stakeholders and what binds us is the unity and
stability of the Nigerian state, we are consulting with the elder statesmen with a view to sensitizing them to the moves we are engaging so that they are in the know.
“And whereas we are not recruiting them into our mission and vision, we would not want them to create obstacles on our way to rescuing Nigeria from a clueless administration.”
Yesterday’s meeting, sources confirmed , had been fixed long before the defection of the five Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governors.
