<\/p>\nThe PSC will coordinate and accredit all other Buhari\/Osinbajo support groups.<\/p>\n
The appointment was conveyed in a letter from the presidency, signed by Rt. Hon. Gideon Sammani, Senior Special Assistant to the President (Political).<\/p>\n
The development was made known on Thursday when Salvador received the APC governorship candidate at the PSC office in Maryland.<\/p>\n
Other members in the committee are Hon. Dele Alake, Hon. Wale Edun and Hon. Lawal Pedro (SAN).<\/p>\n
Top chieftains at the meeting included Cardinal James Odunmbaku and Prince Rabiu Adio Oluwa.<\/p>\n
Salvador announced his defection to the APC in August.<\/p>\n
He said he took the decision because all his efforts to move the PDP in the state forward had been frustrated by some elements in the party.<\/p>\n
Salvador alleged that a former deputy national of the party, Chief Olabode George, had done everything possible to undermine the progress of the party in the state.<\/p>\n
He said he could no longer labour in vain, adding that the national leadership of the party had done nothing to support or appreciate his efforts as PDP Chairman.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you have people or leadership that cannot give you encouragement to carry out your vision, you take it to another place where it will be appreciated.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not happy that I am abandoning what I laboured for, but I have to move on with my supporters because I cannot continue to labour in vain.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, the chairman of PDP Board of Trustees called me on the defection and I told him to allow me consult with my people before feedback.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus also called me for the first time since my travails.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe never called since I was put in jail on a cooked up murder charge; he called me today to ask why I want to defect.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I told him it is not possible for me to be in the same party with Bode George because he undermined all my efforts to reposition the party.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was doing all these things and the national leadership was allowing him, saying he is an elder.<\/p>\n
\u201cBode George also cooked up things to put me in jail in the murder case of late Aborishade.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough is enough. I am leaving the party with my supporters and I am taking them to APC where they would be recognised and appreciated,\u201d he said.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
