Rivers PDP Set To Harvest NDP ‘Big Fish’

The former guber candidate of the National Democratic Party (NDP) in 2007 in Rivers State, Hon. Appolos E. Amadi, said he has concluded plans to return back to his former party, the People Democratic Party (PDP).

Hon. Amadi, who represented the Ikwerre/Emohua Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives between 1999 and 2003, said that the decision was reached in order to allow him join forces with the PDP at all levels in its bid to bring about even development in the country.

The former representative member and now chairman of oil and gas host communities (Rivers State chapter), who spoke with reporters in Port Harcourt during the week, noted that the decision was the best he could do, judging from his contributions to the party (PDP) before he decamped.

Appolos Amadi who was one-time House Committee Chairman on Privatisation and Commercialisation, noted that he left his former party in good faith.

He said that the only way to assist in both the state and country’s scheme of things was to fall back to the ruling People’s Democratic Party and chart a new course.

According to him,  it would be suicidal for his likes to still remain where actions are not happening, saying that he is back to PDP for better.

He remarked that the PDP is the only party on ground, adding that it may still lead the country and most states in the next couple of years.

“PDP still remains the people’s choice, they are well organised and may still rule the country and most states in the year to come,” he said.

He declined comment about his next political ambition, but said that he is always ready to join the moving train.

However, Amadi has lauded Governor Amaechi over his plans to restore Port Harcourt to its former Garden City status.
