The Chairman of Northern Union (NU), Dr Olusola Saraki, may be on his way back to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State.

Saraki, the strongman of Kwara politics, had some months to the April elections led his supporters out of PDP to form the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN).

Sources said arrangements had been perfected for ACPN members to return to the PDP alongside their leader, the elder Saraki.

It was learnt that the ACPN leader would arrive in Ilorin, the state capital on Sunday and would, after a special prayer, declare the return of members of the party to the PDP.

The planned return might not be unconnected with ongoing reconciliatory moves between the frontline politician and the PDP.

Sources also said the reconciliation team raised by the PDP yesterday headed for London for reconciliatory talks with the elder Saraki, who had left the country immediately after the elections.

The team is said to be led by ex-Governor and the son of the politician, Bukola; Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed; the Secretary to the State Government, Isiaka Gold and some other government and PDP officials.

The elder Saraki, who facilitated ascendancy of the PDP to the state government’s seat in 2003 and 2007, had last year left the party and adopted then relatively unknown ACPN.

The second republic senate leader claimed he was leaving PDP because the party’s doors had been shut against him, however it was widely believed that he left because of opposition against the governorship ambition of his daughter, Gbemisola.
