Rivers State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Desmond Akawor, has expressed confidence that the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, would dump the ruling All Progressives Congress to join the party very soon.
According to Akawor, the minister has always been a part of the PDP family, saying that he only left the party to join APC for a reason which has already been achieved.
He added that the people who left the PDP in the build up to the 2015 general elections are regretting their actions, saying they have all realised that there is nothing in the ruling party.
Akawor stated this at an event in the Ikwerre Local Government Area while receiving scores of defectors from other political parties to the PDP.
In his words, “Our brothers that are joining the PDP; I listened to almost all your leaders, they were all PDP members. They have gone to see. They saw nothing and that is why they are all back.
“One day, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, your son, will come back to his family, which is PDP. He has to come back because he was a speaker. Where he went, he went for a reason.
“He went to remove President Jonathan. Jonathan has gone, so he should come back to his party. I have said it. They say I should not repeat that.
“Right in Ikwerre Local Government, I am saying it again. My brother, my friend, the bosom friend of our Governor, Nyesom Wike, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, come back home.”
Recall that Amaechi left the PDP in 2014 and became a prominent part of the APC that fought and wrestled power from the ruling party in 2015.
