2015: We ‘ll win in Amaechi’s ward – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, has said that in the event of Governor  Chibuike Amaechi leaving its fold for another party, it will still win all future elections in the governor’s ward.
The PDP, made the declaration in a statement, signed by Mr Jerry Needam, the Special Adviser to the party’s chairman.The party was reacting to a closed-door meeting the Rivers State governor held with some leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC). It noted that such action was not unexpected and therefore not a shocker to the party, alleging that Governor Amaechi had consistently conducted himself in a rebellious manner and disloyal to the PDP leadership in the state and at the national level.
“In the light of the above, we are aware the governor has directed his loyal chairmen of local government councils and their councilors to commence registration of members for the APC in the various wards in the 23 local government areas of the state,” it stated.
The party stated that while it welcomed the governor’s alleged move to dump the PDP for another party, it was very optimistic that such move is inconsequential to its success in all levels of election contests in not only the four Ikwerre ethnic group local government areas but in the home ward of Governor Amaechi.
