SDP collapses structure into PDP in Rivers LG

From TONY JOHN, Port Harcourt

 

The Enforcers of Good Governance under the leadership of Kingsley Ogu received the Social Democratic Party, SDP in Ogbogu Town in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni (ONELGA), Rivers State.

Speaking on behalf of the group of defectors, the chairman of Rivers Voice of Freedom, Prince Ugochukwu, clarified that the return of his members to People’s Democratic Party (PDP), was done in good conscience, having carefully studied the blueprint and performance of the executive governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, in the last seven months of his administration.

He maintained that the Rivers Voice of Freedom was the political strength of Senator Magnus Abe during his governorship sojourn in 2023, as the group moved from door to door, sensitising and mobilising for the freedom of Rivers people.

Orukwo maintained that this time, they would work harder and better for the administration of Fubara to accomplish more than his predecessors as well as win the 2027 general elections convincingly.

On his part, the host and leader of the Enforcers of Good Governance, Ogu, reiterated the commitment of the group to the leadership of the executive governor of Rivers State.

He particularly applauded the goodwill remarks of President Bola Tinubu in favour of the state governor, saying it was worth commending as it would boost investors confidence in the state.

Ogu further called on political gladiators to sheath their swords and allow peace to reign in Rivers State to harness the developmental drives of the governor.

On his part, the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Isaac Umejuru, while receiving the defectors alongside Ward Eight chairman of the PDP, in ONELGA, celebrated them for taking the bold step to join the SIMplified family. He assured them of having equal rights as every other stakeholder in the party.

In furtherance to that, other stakeholders gave their goodwill messages, reassuring the returnees of stability and opportunities for growth in the state under the leadership of Fubara, as Rivers governor.
