Fmr Vice Chairman, serving Ward Chairman dumps PDP for APC in Cross River
January 18, 2019



By Peter Akpak, Ogoja

A former Vice chairman of Bekwarra local government area of Cross River State, Hon. Christopher Odey and a serving ward chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the same LGA have defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.



The duo on Thursday and no less than 19 big wigs of the PDP with a large crowd of their supporters decamped to the APC, when Sen. John Owan Enoh, the governorship candidate of the party took his campaign train to Bekwarra where he was received by a sea of crowd.

Receiving the decampees, the state chairman, Mr. Odey Ochicha said the gubernatorial candidate of the party enjoined them to do more work in APC than they did for the PDP so as to secure victory for the party.

While campaigning for support from the mammoth crowd, Owan-Enoh told them that turning out in their numbers to receive him was a great statement, which shows that they have realised the mistakes they made in 2015 by voting the incumbent governor into office.


He told the people that Ayade has abandoned them and the Obudu-Abouchiche road. That he knows Ayade is watching is campaigns and in a few days will want to deceive them by deploying tractors into the road because he knows the elections are close.

He said, “Today you’ve made a statement, and that statement is that as a state we made a mistake in 2015 by voting Ayade into office. And you don’t need me to show you the indications of that mistake, because it is very evident in the state of affairs of our dear state.

“Ayade has abandoned the road between Abouchiche and Obudu. In the next few days he will bring tractors into the road in order to deceive people. All He knows to do is to deceive the people.”

“Ayade is watching my campaign and he is very afraid. Very soon Ayade will come to campaign because he usually waits for me to start a thing before he does too. When he comes here he will come with power.



“He will come to show you power, he will come with big cars and soldiers and all the paraphernalia of government. Is that one power? The real power is when he comes here to show you what he has done in four years.

“Even I who is not governor, I have visited more Northern villages than he who is from the Northern district of the state and he is the seating governor. In the last three days I have been sleeping in the North but Ayade has never slept in the North before and he will never. We didn’t elect an emperor in 2015 who cares only about himself.

“I am the one that will come and provide life in that government house. The first thing I will do is to conduct local government elections. If governor Ayade meant well, If he had a sincere heart, he would have.”

I suppose Atikus USA display did not sway this one.

In fact where are the APC people who have defected to PDP because of Atiku and Amelika

Good riddance...

Its a big blow to pdp.over 10 aides of the governor have defected.owan enoh is the next governor

this buhari is another thing,just wondered what kind of human he is. kaduna was totally shut down today I just pray that all of us supporting atiku on social media can vote Buhari out , not to just sit at home on election day

A former Vice Chairman and a Serving Ward Chairman were the biggest wigs of the big wigs that joined APC in a giant state like Cross Rivers

The person who invented that word must be turning in his grave

It's a shock they didn't defect with the usual 2000 supporters

Keep dreaming

Are you one of those kids?

His business not mine

Whether Atiku travel to US or not,I will still not vote for him never,I will still prefer Alh Muhammad Buhari than him 100%

They don Dey move for South South again! Likes for Atiku and Shares for Buhari.

This is just too much for Atiku and PDP to bear. No wonder...... They are holding on to anything as their means of survival.

People keep running from the thief who promise to enrich only his friends if elected in US, Dubai and china because im sure Atiku can't be president in Nigeria .

Sai baba till 2023
God bless nigeria

Yes thereby depleting atiku's dying base

Cross river and akwa ibom states remain one of PDPs stronghold. A ward chairman's defection now is because he got a better offer. Ogbeni would return after the contract expires after elections

Use your discretion na,they dont need to announce for you to know that they have thousands of supporters.bekwarra coincidentally borders obudu where ayade is from

Atiku have won his election in America today.

Not so again sir.apc is very strong there especially in akwa ibom where they have overwhelmed pdp.those ward leaders you are underestimating controls the local populace,grassroot and are the closest to the people.its a blow to you and pdp,deal with it.
