As reactions continue to trail the gale of high profile defections blowing in the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Rivers State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bro. Felix Obuah says the development has brightened the chances of a PDP victory come 2019.
Bro. Obuah, who was reacting to the massive defection of key members of the APC leadership into the PDP, said their departure has inevitably put the party in total disarray, stressing that the development has confirmed the unwavering position of the PDP that the ruling APC is visionless, lame duck and has nothing to offer the Nigerian masses other than poverty, hunger and bloodletting.
Recalling that the defectors which include Senate President, Bukola Saraki; Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed; Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal; National Publicity Secretary of APC, Bolaji Abdullahi and a host of some State Assembly members constitute the ‘heart and soul’ of APC, Bro. Obuah said the development now marks the end of the road for the APC.
The State PDP Chairman said the ultimate beneficiaries of the development are the generality of the Nigerian citizens whose political system has been transformed to that of animal kingdom where sheer opposing views are regarded as coup d’état that must be suppressed with gunshots and machine guns through the instrumentality of willing security agents.
“This hurricane that is blowing in the APC goes to support the fact that whatever you sow is what you will reap. They came through the back door but Nigerians are now wiser and seeing their true colours.
“PDP remains the hope for Nigerians and is gearing up to salvage the country, come 2019”, Bro. Obuah said, adding that the defection of these APC big-wigs is just a tip of the iceberg as many more defections might be witnessed in the coming weeks.
While commending the defectors for doing the needful, Bro. Obuah expressed optimism that their action would boost and embolden the confidence of their teeming supporters to emulate their worthy example so that collectively Nigeria would be rescued from a draconian regime that is reminiscent of first-century barbarians which the APC represents.
