Peoples Democratic Party governors who voted for the re-election of Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi in the last Nigeria Governors' Forum election may be considering floating a new party, to emerge as a Third Force to the ruling PDP and opposition coalition party, All Progressives Congress.
The group, comprising seven governors, has already commenced talks with the three governors of the All Nigeria Peoples Party with a view to aligning to form the new party, THISDAY has learnt.
Amaechi and Sokoto State Governor Aliyu Wammako have been suspended by PDP for reasons not unconnected with the NGF election and their position on it.
Besides Amaechi and Wammako, others said to be involved in the proposed new party are Governors Sule Lamido of Jigawa State, Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State, Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State, Babangida Aliyu of Niger State and Usman Dakingari of Kebbi State.
The governors, who are perceived to be opposed to President Goodluck Jonat-han’s assumed second term ambition, want a party where they would form the nucleus of its organisational structure and be founders ahead of the 2015 general election.
As part of their game plan, the governors are also considering talks with the national leader of the Accord Party and former Oyo State Governor, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, and another former governor of the state, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala, in a bid to make an in-road into the South-west.
