23 Local Government Chairmen in Rivers Dump PDP for APC
The broom revolution is still sweeping across the country. In a bid to
prove to the desperadoes in Aso Rock that the people of Rivers State are
with Governor Rotimi Amaechi, the twenty-three local government
chairmen in that State have all dumped the troubled PDP and defected to
the APC.
“We want to assure you that we will work with you collectively. We want to reassure you that as mobilisers and grassroots politicians, we are leaders, we will not disappoint this party."
These were the words of the Chairman of Port Harcourt City Local
Government and Chairman Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, Mr.
Chimbiko Akarolo.
He spoke on behalf of others at a meeting with the acting chairman of APC in the state, Mr. Davies Ikanya.
He said: “We want to reassure you that as various leaders in the various
LGAs, we will continue to sensitize our people on the programmes of our
party sensitize them and re-engineer them on the manifesto of our party
and where the party is going to and how progressive the party is.”
