(b)- The APC in Delta has recorded a huge loss as Freedom Adowei defectes from the party to the PDP(/b)

A former leader of the
Movement for the
Emancipation of Niger the
Delta, Freedom Adowei, has
defected from the All
Progressives Congress to the Peoples Democratic Party,
with about 10,000 of his
loyalists in the state. Vanguard reports that
Adowei said his decision to
decamp from the APC was
based on the tremendous
impact of the administration
of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa in several riverine communities
of the state. He maintained that the
member representing Burutu
federal constituency in the
House of Representatives,
Julius Pondi, was also giving
the area effective representation.

According to him, “Under
Okowa, riverine communities
across the state have been
receiving government
attention more than ever,
with some transforming into visible living communities. “If you go round you will see
how the governor is being
commended for the
construction of roads in
riverine communities such as
the Okerenkoko Road in Gbaramatu Kingdom, Warri
South-West, Sokebolou/
Obotobo Road in Ogulagha
Kingdom, Burutu Township
concrete road pavement and
others, all within Burutu local government area of the state,
as well as other parts of the
riverine Delta.
“I will be delivering 20,000
Ijaw votes to the PDP in the
elections next year. I moved
with my followers and I have
their mandate to come and
contribute my part to the success and victory of PDP in
Delta state. ”
