The Chairman Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) in Rivers State, Bro Felix Obuah plans to receive some prominent leaders
and members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, across the 23 Local
Government Areas of the State, who have accepted to join the PDP following
hands of fellowship extended to them by Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.
The PDP Chairman maintained that
Governor Wike never minced words when he called on the APC to join him in
building the State, adding that the Supreme Court victory was not just victory
for the PDP, but for all Rivers people, irrespective of party affiliations.
Bro Obuah in a statement signed by his
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam reaffirmed that the
party’s umbrella is very large enough to accommodate everyone, including those
who left the PDP at the eleventh hour for fear that the judgment of the Supreme
Court would not favour Governor Nyesom Wike.
He gave assurance that like the father
of the Prodigal Son, the PDP would still receive all returnees with affection,
saying that what is uppermost in the mind of Governor Wike is to continue with
his developmental agenda and take the State to the next level.
Bro. Obuah called on members of the APC
still worried over their loss at the Supreme Court to see Governor Wike’s
invitation as the best option, adding that the development of Rivers State and
not party affiliation should be paramount in their hearts.
Describing the mass defection of APC
members into the PDP in less than 5 days after the Supreme Court judgment as
unprecedented, he assured them that the PDP would not only give them a
befitting reception, but would also carry them along in the scheme of things.
