Akawor Vows To Bring Back Aggrieved PDP Members

The Rivers State chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ambassador Desmond Akawor, says the ruling party in the state is set to bring back all the aggrieved members who left the party.
Akawor said this at the weekend after he received the lawmaker representing Oyigbo constituency in the Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon. Promise Nwankwo of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, and his supporters at the party secretariat in Port Harcourt.
According to him, the PDP government in the state had shown enough developmental strides to entice some aggrieved members who left the party including members of others political parties to join the party.
He said the party under the leadership of Governor Nyesom Wike was very accommodative to receive more members of opposition parties to move Rivers State forward.
Akawor commended Hon Nwankwo and his supporters for realising early enough that PDP was the only party that can guarantee development in the state and Nigeria in general.
He promised that they would be treated equally with other members of the party in the state.
Speaking, Hon. Promise Nwankwo said he decided to dump the SDP because of the developmental strides of Governor Wike in the state
He promised to work in synergy with other members of the party to fast track development in the state.
According to him, over a thousand of his supporters joined the PDP with him.
“I decided to join PDP because of the developmental strides of Governor Nyesom Wike in the state.
“As a member of the State House of Assembly, am fully aware of the Governor’s commitment and readiness to put smiles on the faces of Rivers people, and so I decided to be in the same fold with him to ensure more dividend of democracy in the state,” Nwankwo said.
