PDP National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu,
who led a delegation of party leaders to
meet Ikimi in Abuja on Friday evening
to finalize arrangements for his formal
declaration, said that the PDP was happy
that Ikimi has decided to return to its
fold.
Mu’azu described Ikimi as a highly
organized and patriotic Nigerian who
has the interest of the nation at heart,
adding that such qualities made it hard
for him to be in a party like the APC. He
said that the PDP would immensely
benefit from Ikimi’s “wealth of
experience, strong political structure and
massive followership across the
country”.
The National Chairman praised the Edo-
born politician for his courage in
deciding to return to the PDP, while
giving assurance that the party, under
the new leadership, recognizes and
rewards loyalty, commitment and
experience.
In the same vein, Chairman of the PDP
Board of Trustees, Tony Anenih,
commended Ikimi for his decision, which
he said was in the overall interest of the
nation.
Responding, Ikimi, who restated that he
dumped the APC due to its deep-seated
anti-nationalistic and discriminatory
tendencies, said that he was ready to
join the PDP and use his political
structures especially in the South-South
to ensure that it emerged victorious in
the 2015 general elections.
“I look forward to bringing value to the
PDP. I believe that my contributions will
again be noteworthy. By my joining PDP,
we are assured of victory, not only in
Edo State, but in the entire South-South
geopolitical zone”, Ikimi said, noting that
he was ready to serve the party in any
capacity deemed appropriate by the
leaders.
Stating that the visit has laid to rest,
speculations and arguments regarding
where he has resolved to pitch his tent,
Ikimi said that he would transmit the
outcome of the meeting to his
constituency and he was sure that the
response would be favourable.
He also said that he desires to work with
Tony Anenih so as to move the party and
the nation forward and bring about the
much expected development to Edo State
and the South-South geopolitical zone.
“I believe that our people are looking
forward to this reunion because they will
benefit the most from it. When I and
Chief Tony Anenih work together, I do
not think we can have any obstacle we
cannot overcome”, he said.
Also at the meeting were PDP Deputy
National Chairman, Prince Uche
Secondus, Secretary of the PDP BoT,
Senator Wali Jibril, former FCT Minister,
Dr. Aliyu Modibbo, as well as political
stakeholders from the South-South.
