The Governor recalled that many Governors had in the past defected to the PDP without being removed by courts. Zamfara governor moved to the PDP and the court held that he had the right to move if there was a disagreement in his party. Also, the Bauchi State governor moved from ANPP (defunct All Nigerian Peoples Party) to the PDP and another court held that he had the right to move. Abia State governor (Theodore Orji) moved from Progressives Peoples Alliance to the PDP and Kebbi State governor also moved from the ANPP to the PDP. They are so many and the PDP was so happy absorbing them.
He said, "Now that five of us have gone and the chances of more governors moving to the APC appear to be there, the PDP is panicking. We are ready to meet them in court; we have hired lawyers and our lawyers can battle with them."
However, The Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party has equally boasted that Amaechi and the other governors would willingly return to the party soon. Tukur told a team of Nigerian professionals in Europe on Wednesday while in London , that measures were being put in place by the PDP leadership and President Goodluck Jonathan to ensure that those who defected from the ruling party return on their own.
In 2013, the five PDP governors, Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara); Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto); Murtala Nyako (Adamawa); and Musa Kwankwaso (Kano) defected to APC due to grievances with the Leadership of the party and President Jonathan.
