The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has said
that before the end of March 2014, about 9 state governors and more
senators would dump the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and join
them.
In a statement issued in Port Harcourt and signed
by Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, senior media adviser adviser to the Rivers APC
Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, the party congratulated the11 PDP
senators who defected last week, describing the move as a wise one while
adding that "they have finally come back home and are warmly welcome to
where they truly belong.”
The statement reads in part:
“The emergence of APC to the political scene is the answer to the
prayers of Nigerians in order to end the menace and hardship that PDP
has foisted on our nation and in our polity,” he said.
“In
the case of Senators Magnus Abe of Rivers South-East and Wilson Ake of
Rivers West, we hail their dumping PDP for APC as a big boost to the
Congress and a manifestation of the fact that the party is now well
rooted in the state.
“APC is now in full control of
Rivers political space and ready to deliver the state wholly to the
party in the 2015 general elections. Rivers APC welcomes Senators Abe
and Ake. Progressives adore you, Rivers people are proud of you;
democrats salute your courage, your constituents are behind you.
“We
are aware that Rivers PDP is pained and weeping for losing two
Distinguished Senators, but would anybody expect progressive-minded
Nigerians to remain in a failed, undemocratic, vision less,
unfashionable and derailed party?”
He therefore called on the PDP to bury its head in shame.
