700 PDP Members Defect To APC by dmediator555(m): 10:38pm On Jan 28, 2016
Marvin Yobana says he moved to APC because President
Buhari was performing well
Defectors claim PDP has nothing to offer
Mr. Marvin Yobana, the Africa’s representatives in the World
Assembly of Youths and former aide to Mrs. Patience
Jonathan has revealed that the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) lied to the Niger Delta people about the personality of
President Muhammadu Buhari.
Yobana said this at the reception of over 700 defectors of
PDP to APC in Khana local government area,
he was an ardent supporter of former president, Goodluck
Jonathan and was deceived into believing that President
Buhari did not like Niger Delta people but 60 days after his
assumption of office, he approved the implementation of
the United Nations Empowerment Project report.

Senator Magnus Ngei Abe, the All Progressives Congress
(APC) candidate in the Rivers South-East Senatorial District
re-run election predicted that members of the PDP will
move en-masse to the APC before the state and National
Assembly re-run elections.
Senator Abe said that the Ogoni people have realized that
PDP has nothing to offer to them.
He urged those still in PDP and wishing to decamp to do so
immediately as the APC is willing to accept them and work
with them in the campaign pointing out that those who
worked for the party during the elections will also be
considered by the party in victory.
“We expect that we will work together to move Ogoni to
greater height where everybody will have a chance of
prosperity”, he said.
He explained that that singular action tells that the Ogoni
stand to benefit more in Buhari’s administration than being
in the opposition party.

He urged Ogoni people to vote massively for Senator Abe
and other candidates of the APC at the re-run elections.
In his speech at the event, Hon. Emma Deeyah, a former
member of the House of Representatives, said that the Ijaw
people under Jonathan’s administration let the Ogoni down
and urged the Ogoni still in PDP to decamp en-masse to give
support to President Buhari, pointing out that with Senator
Abe as their representative in the Senate, he would attract
development projects for the Ogoni and speak their minds
in the upper legislative chamber.
Also speaking, Hon. Maurice Pronen, the APC candidate in
the House of Representatives for Gokana/Khana federal
constituency re-run election, said that APC parades
candidates with better credentials that PDP in the likes of
Senator Magnus Abe and others.
In his own speech, Hon. Asita Okorie Asita, the APC deputy
gubernatorial candidate, said that they saw the victory of
Buhari coming and asked Rivers people to be in the train,
but some did not listen; but today, Buhari is the president.
He urged Rivers people to eschew violence during and after
the re-run elections and remain steadfast in APC as such will
bring accelerated development than being in the opposition.
In his speech while receiving the defectors, the State APC
Secretary, Chief Emeka Bekee, said, “This is a great party
that will handle the problem of Ogoni people. You have
joined this party, go and preach our gospel, the gospel of
peace, love and development of Rivers state”.
