The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Niger State has narrated how former Governor Babangida Aliyu betrayed the party.
Mr Aliyu is currently on suspension over alleged anti-party activities.
The Public Relations Officer of the party in Niger, Yahaya Usman, told journalists that he was suspended for truncating former President Goodluck Jonathan’s chance of winning the 2015 presidential election.
“We have been vindicated, Dr Aliyu betrayed us and worked for the ruling All Progressives Congress.
“He betrayed the party, former President Goodluck Jonathan and our governorship candidate, Alhaji Umar Nasko. We have said it that he donated funds to the opposition party.”
Recall that Aliyu in a statement said the 19 northern governors worked against Jonathan’s election in 2015 because there was an agreement with Jonathan to serve only one term which Jonathan reneged on.
However, Jonathan called Aliyu a pathological liar and a backstabber, while former governors Jonah Jang and Sule Lamido denied knowledge of such agreement cited by Aliyu.
