‘APC, Skeleton Now’

Former Chieftain of the All Progressives  Congress (APC) in the State from Emohua, Chief Bob Chim Okala says the  opposition party is a shadow of itself, as he and other party big wigs  have moved  to the  ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Okala who spoke on the sidelines of massive defection of about 8,000 APC members at the Civic Centre recently told  newsmen that the opposition is now void and has nothing to offer.
The former chairman of Emohua Local Government Area said  APC had nothing to offer and that it was better to join  hands with the  State Governor,  Chief Nyesom Wike to move the State forward than stay in a party with no hope for  the future.
“We know why we left because we are not riff-raff. We are national technocrats, when  we saw that what they are  doing at the state and national levels is hopeless, we left. We cannot think of anything  Buhari is doing. The fight on corruption is vindictive and picky”, Okala  said.
He recalled that as a former caucus member of the APC,  his defection to PDP shows that the opposition  was in disarray , “I have come back  to light and am very delighted to be  back”.
Okala  commended the State Governor for being able to govern  the state  and carry out people oriented projects despite the opposition.
For him, it was the good works of Chief Wike that convinced  them that there was no future in the APC.
He added: “As far as I am concerned there is no more APC in Rivers State. If people like Glory Emeh, Sunny Wokekoro and myself  have decamped, including a host of others,  who are there remaining?”.
The Eze Oha I of Rumuji however called on the PDP leadership to abide by the governor’s directive and accord all decampees their rights and privileges, while pledging to ensure the PDP’s victory in upcoming elections.
On his part, former councilor and decampee in Asari-Toru local  Government Area, Orisarilloma Amachree  said his  moving to PDP  was to  join Wike’s vision  and development strides in the state.
