Senator Magnus Abe, the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate in the Rivers South-East senatorial district re-run election, has predicted that members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will decamp en-masse to the APC, before the state and National Assembly re-run elections.
Speaking at the reception of over 700 decampees of PDP to APC in Khana Local Government Area, Senator Abe said that the Ogoni people have realised that PDP has nothing to offer them.
He urged those still in PDP and wishing to decamp to do so immediately as the APC was willing to accept them and work with them in the campaigns, pointing out that those who worked for the party during the election would also be considered by the party in victory.
“We expect that we will work together to move Ogoni to greater heights where everybody will have a chance to prosper,” he said.
Earlier, one of the decampees, Mr. Marvin Yobana, the African Representative in the World Assembly of Youths and former aide to Mrs. Patience Jonathan, said that he was an ardent supporter of former president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and was deceived into believing that President Buhari did not like Niger Delta people, but, 60 days after his assumption of office, the President approved the implementation of the United Nations Environment Programme, UNEP report.
He explained that that singular act confirms that the Ogoni stand to benefit more in Buhari’s administration than being in opposition in PDP.
He urged Ogoni people to vote massively for Senator Abe and other candidates of APC at the re-run elections.
