PANIC IN RIVERS APC , As Returnees Reveal More  Members Set To Join PDP.

It is no longer news that there was an epoch making ceremony yesterday at Isaac Boro Park where the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Rivers State, received chieftains and key officers of the opposition All Progressives Party (APC), African Action Congress (AAC) and other political parties in Rivers State.

 

While receiving the returnees, the State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Rivers State,  His Excellency, Ambassador Desmond Akawor explained that the sinking ship of the APC is being abandoned because every true Nigerian that is seeing the failure of the government at the centre, will not remain in a party that foisted such disappointment on Nigerians.

 

He said Governor Nyesom Wike has proved what pragmatic leadership is, in fulfilling the covenant he made to Rivers people and salvaged the party when it was necessary.

 

 

He further stated that the PDP is set to accept other members of the APC, who are currently making contact to return to the PDP.

 

According to a statement ,the Chieftains that left the party, especially in Etche, explained that the party is dead and buried in the Local Government, as Ephraim Nwuzi does not have what it takes to withstand the force that is PDP in Etche.

 

 

Chief Ogbonnaya Nwuke stated that seeing what Governor Nyesom Wike did in Etche was the profoundly convincing for all well meaning Etche indigene to work with him for more success in the area.

 

He explained that Chief Allwell Onyesoh, Chief Ambrose Nwuzi made the right decision to join the PDP and there was nothing left for him to do in a failed party such as the APC that has neither done anything in Etche land, nor Rivers State as a whole.

 

 

He added that he will bring his experience to the fore to ensure PDP succeeds on all fronts.

 

Other returnees expressed the same sentiments, explaining that they were deceived by the chain mantra and were disappointed when nothing came out of the hard work they put in to support the APC, adding that His Excellency,  Chief Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike worked tirelessly across the state, providing sustainable infrastructures that they enjoyed in their various domains.

 

 

They thanked Governor Wike for being pragmatic in his approach and accepting them back to the PDP family when they reached out, adding that not only are they coming with their supporters, but other people left in the crumbling APC are willing to join them and will do so in no distant time.

 

The returnees include: Hon. Ogbonnaya Nwuke; immediate past Spokesman of Rivers APC and Publisherof the Port Harcourt Telegraph, Hon. Daemi Akpanah, Hon. Emma Deeya as well as former Speaker, Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Stephen Ezekwem, former Commissioner for Works in the second Republic, Chief Levy Braide, former Chairman of Rivers State Civil Service Commission and Publisher of Today’s Topnews Newspaper, Sir Ngo Martyns-Yellowe, AAC Chairmen across the 23 LGAs, amongst others who came with their teeming supporters.

 

While welcoming the returnees, the Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency, Chief Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike stated that their return was long overdue and they will be treated like everyone else in the PDP, as the party is known to be all inclusive in nature.

 

 

Governor Wike further reiterated his commitment to deliver the dividends of democracy and give Rivers people the best in projects.

 

 

He added that the PDP is willing to accommodate as many people that are willing to return, as the party is poised to continue its winning streak in the upcoming elections in 2023.
