Former Borno state chairman of the defunct All Nigeria People Party (ANPP), Alhaji Muhammad Imam, has Friday picked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) nomination form for the expression of interest to contest the 2015 governorship, our Correspondent reports.

Imam who had also served as commissioner in various ministries during the immediate past regime of ex-governor Ali Modu Sheriff, had recently dumped the state’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) amidst intra-party wrangling to join the PDP.

The ex-ANPP chieftain whose campaign posters had since flooded streets of Maiduguri, would be the first person in Borno state to pick the governorship nomination form on the platform of the PDP.

He confirmed the development to newsmen in Maiduguri on phone.

“I have by the grace of Allah bought the PDP nomination form and that of the expression of interest to contest the governorship of our dear state Borno come 2015”, Imam said. “I don’t have much to say for now until I return to Maiduguri to officially declare my intention and grant a press conference to that effect”.
