PDP opens door to APC defectors in Rivers

Chairman of Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bro Felix Obuah, has urged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state to ‘accept and take advantage of Governor Nyesom Wike’s call and invitation for collective efforts to move the state forward, by joining the PDP.’

Obuah made the special appeal through a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam, Thursday, in appreciation of Governor Wike’s resolve to be magnanimous in victory, as the best way to appreciate God for his mercies.

The PDP chieftain said Gov Wike’s extension of hands of fellowship to the APC is ‘borne out of open mindedness and genuine love for all irrespective of party affiliations and most importantly, a burning desire to lift the State from a primordial base of precarious politics to that, directed by sound, progressive and patriotic statesmen.’

He, therefore, enjoined ward chairmen of the PDP in the state to ‘take advantage of the Governor’s hands of fellowship by accepting APC members willing to join the PDP and move the State forward.’

The Rivers PDP chairman further assured that ‘members of the APC who are willing to join the PDP would be accorded due respect and treated fairly with all opportunities possible extended to all.’
