Jonathan’s Senator, Rep, others defect to APC



The Senator and House of Representatives member representing
President Goodluck Jonathan constituency at the National Assembly, Senator Clever Marcus Ikisikpo and Hon Nadu Karibo have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Also, the Bayelsa State House of Assembly member representing Ogbia Constituency 1, Hon. Azibola Omekwe was among those that also defected to the APC.

The legislators and other members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that defected were led to the APC’s National Secretariat by the former governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Timpre Sylva.

Addressing journalists at the party’s Secretariat in Abuja, leader of the defectors. and Senator representing Bayelsa East senatorial district at the National Assembly, Senator Ikisikpo said they believed that Bayelsa State would be better represented and developed under the APC platform.

While berating the PDP for under developing the state, he said that the party will work hard to win the governorship election in the state slated latter this year.

Senator Ikiskpo stated that sentiment had prevented them from moving to the APC before the elections were over, explaining that they would have moved earlier but didn’t want to be associated with the consequence that would have befallen Jonathan after the election.

He said: “We expressed our readiness today to work with the APC at the local, state and national levels. We are convinced that APC will best represent the future for Ogbia, for Bayelsa and for Nigeria. Together, we hereby join the movement for change in Nigeria.”

In his speech, the former Bayelsa State governor and leader of APC in the state, Chief Timipre Sylva said Baylsians have realised that they needed change and the time has come for the state to embrace change.

He regretted that the party worked hard in the just concluded election to deliver the state to the APC but PDP forces who were bent at rigging the election frustrated their efforts.

The former governor assured the party leaders that APC will clinch the governorship seat in the next election.

Receiving the defectors on behalf of the national leadership, former governor of Ekiti state and Deputy National Chairman South, Engr Segun Oni commended them for coming to the APC fold while charging them to work hard for the success of the party in the next governor ship election

Even Bayelsa people don abandon Jonathan.

Jonathan would now be represented by an APC man. That's the reward of cluelessness

Good news...but the legislators were not returned by PDP.

Men with very little principles. stay where u are and effect change

Indeed, the change we hope for is here. I just hope this bunch of people defecting into APC will be able to produce good results and not make the party a caricature of PDP.

Make dem stay for PDP ooo....en en

Igbos una see unna life?in one of my post I said it that alliance between the iIgbos and and south south can never work, because the south southerners will never be surrogates to the Igbos.

SS/SE Can Never Play opposition politics! Apc will surely clinch the Governorship Seat there!

THIS JUST THE BEGINNING. but i pray pdp should come together n form a strong party dat can stand apc in d coming election but i dont think they can cope cuz d av lost bearing n need to go back to dia drawing board.





am certainly sure APC will do better

Pdp can't survive as an opposition party, they'll rather go & join APC & become errand boy there

hmmm..

Expect disintegration in apc soon, as the south west,middle bet and south south apc together with the south east (igbos) who have no choice when it comes to politics than to support/follow there brothers in the south south who they have forcefully adopted even if they (south south) have no interest in there(igbo) brotherhood request..Example; Biafra republic proposal, before and even now...



The above regions will team up together to jettison power back to the south, propably south west, cos for igbo to be president is like a night mear.

But cnt really tell if this team up would be against 2019 or 2023 presidential election, but i think it would be that of 2023 presidential election...

Change! everywhere u go.

Bunch of parasite defecting from one party to the other.

^^^Dude!.....It's like your entire fuc/king life revolves around Ndigbo!

What the fuc/k has this thread got to do with Igbos? South Southerners will not be surrogates to Igbos but are perfectly ok being surrogates to Hausa/Fulani abi? And just how exactly do you envision South Southerners would be 'surrogates' to Igbos?

Maybe you're breathing a bit easier now, thinking that your fuc/king 'one Nigeria' just got a lifeline.....just because a few fat greedy politicians with zero integrity decided to cross over to where they reckon their selfish interests would be better served!

^^^Yet another bastard impostor that can't seem to make a single post without mentioning Ndigbo!

This fools insane hatred for Igbos easily gives him away! All his posts just drip with bile and hate towards a people who carry on with life regardless......and he says he's Ikwerre!

The rotting worms primary purpose on here is to cause and maintain divisions between Ndigbo and other ethnic groups in the South South so as to prevent us having a common front with which to challenge the 'owners of Nigeria' and the southern allies! Basically, this scum just wants the status-quo maintained!

Interesting.... when will patience decamp to APC? Although she is not wanted

This people are not the newly elected; they are losers of last election which PDP denied ticket at primaries. Now after performing poorly and been boot out, they now turn around to seek the face of APC.

Some ppl above me are already rejoicing and coursing other ppls tribe. Ok

I said it !...these dudes should better stay in Pdp so dat we can have a strong opposition

Nothing out of d ordinary...still politics..interests! For those folks in 4th n 5th storey cursing back n forth..abeg mk una kno dy pour saliva for we head wey they downstairs!

Ahhhhh Ameachi! So you are not a betrayer afterall. You saw the light earliar than others and was bold to lead in making history.

Ijaw people the chief betrayers, they even betray their own..

I hail oo....

loooooool what a joke

PDP is AGPA...

The way Jonathan is courting Buhari , GEJ may join APC pretty soon.

when the tide suddenly change

No permanent friends nor enemies in politics. Just permanent interest.

PDP is dead and buried in Nigeria. I see PDP not surviving 2019. If God what to distroy a gang of terorrist he creat confution on dia mist and that is what PDP is facing right now. Soon Rivers and Ikwa-Ibom will be APC state.

Failure is an orphan.
