PDP Claims Rivers State Over 20 Commissioners will dump APC soon
The Chairman of the Rivers state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, Felix Obuah, has claimed that at least 21 Commissioners in the state will soon defect from the All Progressives Congress to the Peoples Democratic Party.
This is coming a few days after Governor Amaechi’s deputy governor, Tele Ikuru defected to the PDP from the APC.
Obuah said, “About 21 Commissioners in Governor Amaechi cabinet are already talking with me about coming home to join their own party. They are just waiting to pick their last salaries and dump Amaechi and the APC sinking ship.”
According to reports however, the Commissioner for Information and Communications in the state, Ibim Semenitari, has refuted the claims, saying:
“We are loyal to the governor (Amaechi) and the party (APC).”
