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

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...

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!

I have raised a point, a salient one at that. Which will sooner come to pass except there is a strong opposition to check the excesses of apc.

You're pained mr, but who cares. If your yoruba tribe thinks they would enjoy a dime higher than other tribes in this coming government then you're all deluded.

SS&SE should have retained pdp so as to keep the government at the will of the citizens but yorubas are busy abusing Igbos for not joining the apc train. And now that a few greedy bayelsans are selling their birthright for a pot of soup as they're all wont to. And you fools are here celebrating and mocking Igbos without knowing the joke is on you lot.

[b]I'm not surprised dat such delusional scenarios & permutations make sense to someone who thinks it also makes sense to keep d clueless GEJ in power. Since when has d PDP bcom some people's birthright?. While patriots think in terms of nigeria, small minds think of tribe & religion.In 2011, we voted 4 GEJ but he turned out to be a complete disappointment. In 2015 Wit elections coming & wit little or no achievement to point to, GEJ's only hope of clinging to power was to play d evil card of fear & division to rally d gullible band of bigots like u. Nigerians ar not dumb. In d national interest they rejected division & fear & sent d Divider-in-Chief packing out of Aso rock. Unfortunately most of his bigoted supporters on dis forum hav had no other reasonable reaction than throwing Orubebeic tantrums of pain & despair & painting deluded scenarios & narratives reminiscent of people going thru different stages of loss & grief. Keep up d delusions if it makes u feel better[/b]
Ask urself if GEJ being a southerner or Xtian has had any impact on his style of leadership.  Stop being a bigot.

I hate people who can't hold a simple discuss without resulting to vituperation.

Do learn the art of communication, so you don't always type out your fingers, only to in the end confound your audience.
