PDP Debunks Rumours Govs Will Join Newly Formed Opposition Party

Olisa MetuhAs rumours become rife that some governors under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party are set to dump the party for the newly formed All Progressives Congress, National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, has poured cold water on the story.

He said he was sure that none of the governors would leave the ruling party and join the opposition, whose future he said, was unknown.

Metuh said, “Definitely, such will never happen. We are not afraid of the newly formed party. Our governors are too committed to the PDP to join the APC.

“You cannot leave the ruling party to join an opposition party, whose future you cannot even tell. It has never happened in the history of this democracy for the PDP to lose any of its governors to the opposition.

“Yes, it is agreed that the party is having some challenges, but we are managing the situation. When other parties had challenges, we knew how they handled them.

“We are therefore not afraid that some of our governors could leave the PDP and join the APC” he stressed.
