– Rivers state PDP chairman, Mr Felix Obuah, told APC members that the door is opened for any of them to join the ruling party.
– Felix Obuah disclosed that Governor Nyesome Wike’s extension of hands of fellowship to the APC was borne out of open-mindedness and genuine love for all, irrespective of party affiliations.
– Rivers state chairman of the APC, Dr Davies Ikanya, disclosed that the party leadership received the Supreme Court judgment with mixed feelings.
Following the Supreme Court judgment, which upheld the election of Governor Nyesome Wike of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Wednesday, January 27, the state’s chapter of the party has offered olive branch to the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement issued by the state’s chairman of the PDP, Mr Felix Obuah, he told the opposition party members that the door is opened for any of them to come into the state’s ruling party.
The Tribune reports that Obuah advised APC members in the state to accept and take advantage of Governor Wike’s call and invitation for collective efforts to push the state forward, noting that the governor was magnanimous in victory.
According to him, Wike’s extension of hands of fellowship to the APC was borne out of open-mindedness and genuine love for all, irrespective of party affiliations.
The chairman pointed out that the governor had a burning desire to transform the Rivers state from its primitive base of hazardous politics to that, directed by sound, progressive and patriotic statesmen.
He urged the party’s ward chairmen in the state to take advantage of Wike’s hand of fellowship by accepting APC members that are willing to defect and move the state forward.
Reacting to PDP’s offer, the state chairman of the APC, Dr Davies Ikanya, in a statement, disclosed that the party’s leadership received the Supreme Court judgment with mixed feelings. He insisted that the election was marred with violence, but assured that the party would neither applaud nor condemn the judgment.
Ikanya pointed out that, it was the violence that marred the elections that made the two lower courts to order rerun elections for 22 state House of Assembly seats out of 32, the three senatorial seats and 12 out of 13 House of Representatives seats.
“Ordinarily, such large-scale annulment should have logically led to upholding the annulment of the governorship election as pronounced by the Tribunal and the Appeal Court.
“While we are neither applauding nor condemning the decision of the apex court, we can only give thanks and adoration to God Almighty whose wisdom surpasses that of man,” he said.
However, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers state has alleged a plot by certain desperate politicians to eliminate its chairman, Bro Felix Obuah. This allegation was contained in a statement made by Obuah’s special adviser on media and publicity, Jerry Needam. The party alleged that the threat points to the direction of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
