The Chairman and eleven
members of the executive
council of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP),
Monday, decamped to the All
Progressives Congress in
Ukpato Ward, Orhiomwon
Local Government Area of
Edo State.
Receiving the PDP
decampees at the
Government House, the State
Governor, Comrade Adams
Oshiomhole said the exit of
the executives has further
reduced decimated the PDP in
the state.
He said: “your journey is
coming at a very strategic
period. When the PDP
postponed the elections, they
wanted to buy time but as
they buy time, they are losing
people and as they lose
people and they are losing
more votes.
“I believe that God has a
purpose for touching
everybody’s heart who have
joined the movement for
change because people like
you who live in the rural
areas know much more than
anyone else the pains of
poverty, the pains of the
failure of the Nigeria State.
He said, “When we buy you a
transformer, there is no light.
When light comes, the fees
the community is asked to
pay is more than the entire
income of the community.
Other than what the state
government is doing in
Orhionmwon, there is no
federal presence in the
community.
“The Federal Government has
spent 52% of our earnings on
your behalf over the past 16
years and you cannot show
one thing they have done. We
haven’t fixed all the problems
but we have shown that it is
possible to begin to address
the problems. This is why in
Orhionmwon we are building
schools besides the long road
that we are doing from
Ugoneki to Urhonigbe, also
we have done roads in
Igbanke and all the adjoining
communities. We are
currently working on the road
in Abudu and several others.
“We have also done several
red roof schools in several
communities, an industrial
borehole at Iguododo that will
supply water to all the
environs just to say but a
few. We haven’t fixed all the
problems but every day we
are doing something new,
connecting the people
through networks of roads
from one community to
another, supplying
transformers even though
they may not enjoy it
because the federal
government has not delivered
power and that is why we say
unless we fix the head, you
will not enjoy the full benefit
of it.”
Governor Oshiomhole
however assured the
defectors of equal privileges
in the party adding that they
will not regret their actions
and decision to join forces
with the All Progressives
Congress.
Earlier, the leader of the
defectors and Chairman,
Ukpato Ward, Mr. Vincent
Awekhor on behalf of other
members of the executive
applauded the leadership
style of the Comrade
Governor and his people
oriented projects in all the
nooks and crannies of the
state.
Mr. Awekhor said, “We have
watched political activities
not only in the state but the
federal and have concluded
that Nigerians need a change
and the change is coming
from only one party which is
the APC and because we do
not want to be left behind, we
have decided today to join
the moving train that will
bring the desired change to
Nigeria.

#Change is coming

This forthcoming election is getting more interesting. I hope this will be a learning point for whoever emerges that Nigerian politicians aren't loyal and will only move to the side where the carrot is dangling thus, the need to work hard and show results if you want to remain in power.

Politicians dotin i's n crossing many t's as possible before d election. Hope dr calculations no go backfire

I am hardly impressed with politicians cross-carpeting. . but this emphasises the fact that the PDP is soooo badlllyyy fractured compared to 2011.

This news emphasises the fact that GMB will give a good showing in EDO, RIVERS and IMO in the SS/SE! Compared to 2011 when it was a total sweep for PDP!!

Argue with your brake pad!

interesting development
