Over 4000 PDP members have defected to APC in Egor local government area
in Edo state. At the defection ceremony which happened yesterday,
leader of the defectors, Promise Igbinevbo, said they were tired of
PDP's deceptive ways.
“We are here to bury PDP today. We were deceived by some political
leaders of the PDP all these years. Today, they call them new PDP but I
realized that old PDP remains.
I later realized that they are like the leopard
which doesn’t change its skin. PDP leaders are conservatives. PDP
leaders cry for their parochial interest alone to the detriment of their
followers. I have wiped off my tears because of the belief that I have
in democracy. In democracy, it is said that the minority will have their
say while the majority will have their way. Today, the majority are
having their way from the PDP to APC. I want to let you know that I, my
chairmen here, women leaders and all executives are members of PDP
across Egor Local Government Area that we are here to team up with the
Comrade Governor and his APC candidate, Mr. Godwin Obaseki. I want to
let you know that I don’t bow down for people for nothing. I don’t bow
down to people because of money. I want to let you know that I bow down
to people with integrity. We bow before Oshiomhole because of his
handwork in Edo State”
While receiving the defectors, the state governor, Adams Oshiomhole who is of the APC said
“Today, I have seen people with a difference. When my brother came and
said he didn’t want to come with APC members; he wanted to do it in a
hall where only PDP decampees will be present, I didn’t quite understand
him or believe him. I said he should allow APC members to come, and he
said, no, if APC people come, he would not be able to call the number of
PDP people that are decamping. So, when I entered this hall and I see
this sea of heads, thousands of PDP women and youths, leaving PDP to
join APC, I said, and it is stated in the Bible, now for PDP, it is
finished. There is nothing left".
