No fewer than 570 key members of the
Peoples Democratic Party in Bayelsa State are
planning to dump the party for the All
Progressives Congress on Saturday (today).
But an association within the PDP in the state
called the Unity Group begged the aggrieved
members to reconsider the move.
The group made the appeal at a news
conference in Yenagoa on Friday against the
backdrop of mass defections of prominent
members of the party to the APC.
Addressing journalists on Friday, Coordinator,
PDP Unity Group, Mrs. Marie Ebikake, urged
the aggrieved members not to defect to
another party.
Ebikake, a former Commissioner for Transport
in the state, who was recently relieved of her
position because of her alleged closeness to
the former First Lady, Dame Patience
Jonathan, said the group was committed to
the unity and resolution of the crisis
confronting the PDP.
She said, “We cannot deceive ourselves. Some
of our people have vowed to go to the APC.
We want to use this medium to appeal to
them to return. The home they have built, they
cannot allow it to collapse.
“We are a group in the Bayelsa State PDP that
is committed to the unity of our party,
particularly after the outcome of the recent
general elections.
“We believe that losing power at the centre
after 16 years should unite rather than divide
us. We salute the commitment of our
members and supporters in the last 16 years.
“However, we are not oblivious of the most
recent defections from our great party in
Bayelsa State to the opposition APC. We
cannot also pretend to be unperturbed of the
planned defection of our esteemed members
on Saturday (today) in Yenagoa.
“There is no doubt that some of these
defectors are men and women of high political
substance and pedigree who have contributed
to our past achievements.” http://www.punchng.com/news/pdp-begs-as-members-plan-defection-today/
