According to NIGERIAN EYE, a proposed meeting between former president Olusegun Obasanjo and Chieftains of the All Progressive Congress (APC) scheduled to have held today threw members of the presidential villa in Aso Rock into panic.

Others expected to be present at the session are the five governors, who defected to the APC from the PDP.

“Forces in the presidency are jittery that Obasanjo might further open up on the state of the nation. They are worried that such pronouncement from Obasanjo would finally be a setback for the PDP." a source told Nigerian Eye.

“If Obasanjo asks his followers to join the APC, it will certainly be disastrous for the PDP.

“The President and his strategists are uncomfortable with the visit which they think has the potency of undermining Jonathan’s aspiration for a second term in 2015.”

However, another source clarified the aims of the APC chieftains, saying “actually, the five governors were expected to meet Obasanjo before their defection to the APC. But they could not do so because of the exigency at the time.

"The APC leaders and governors are going to Abeokuta to rub minds with Obasanjo on why a change is necessary in the leadership of the nation.”

Meanwhile, the defection of some relations and political associates of some ministers has created a crack in Jonathan’s cabinet as the defection of a serving minister's husband to the APC really pained the presidency.
