Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Rivers State
Chapter, Felix Obuah, has described Governor Nyesom Wike as God-sent to people
of the state.
Obuah stated this, on Saturday, while receiving decampees
from the All Progressives Congress (APC) Ward 11 in Okwuzi, in
Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni (ONELGA) of the state to the PDP.
He noted that Governor Wike had stretched project
execution to all nooks and crannies in the state, and had awarded the
renovation of Okwuzi General Hospital.
In the words of Obuah: “I want to use this forum to
officially receive you into Peoples Democratic Party. I want to assure you that
the Leader of the PDP in Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, knows I’m
here.
“Egbema will not be left in the good governance of Governor
Nyesom Ezenwo Wike government. He is God-sent to Rivers people. He has
awarded contract for the renovation of Okwuzi General Hospital.
“Today, you (APC decampees) will be with me. Today, we have
received you and we are happy you have realised that you were deceived by
the opposition party in the State”.
Obuah charged the PDP ward chairman in the area not to see
them “as new members”, but demonstrate fairness to all members.
Earlier, the former APC Ward 11 chairman, Mr. Sheriff
Onyenweibeya, apologized to the State PDP for working against them, saying that
they were deceived.
He appealed to Obuah to re-admit them into PDP, saying that
they were former members of the party before APC leaders deceived and lured
them.
Onyenweibeya expressed: “I want to apologize on behalf of
the teeming crowd of APC members in Ward 11. We were deceived to abandon our
home (PDP) to join them.
