There are indications that the former minister of information and governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Nasarawa State, Mr Labaran Maku has struck a new deal of understanding with the state governor, Umaru Tanko Al-Makura of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
Information revealed that the former minister’s renewed frienship with Governor Al-Makura is not unconnected with his possible defection to the APC if the forthcoming primary election of his party does not favour him.
It was also gathered that Mr Maku who resigned his appointment as minister of information to contest the governorship of the state has not been comfortable with the ongoing political scheming in his party, especially with the alleged moves by the Presidency to reconcile all PDP governorship aspirants in the state with a view to having a consensus candidate.
Sources revealed that the former minister’s alleged moves to join the APC were due to emerging indications that his party was beginning to sense that the minister may not lead the party to victory in the governorship election in 2015 if he is given the ticket.
