Recall that two previous partners to Amaechi, a former head of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Dr. Chidi Lloyd, and the former Commissioner of Health in the State, Dr. Sampson Parker, additionally left the APC for the PDP.
In his statement, Nwuke stated, “On Saturday, the APC got six heavyweights into its overlay. Five of them were from the PDP while one was from another ideological group.
“Most of the deserters are previous individuals from the PDP who are burnt out on having a Senior Prefect that is quick transforming into a tyrant, as their chief.
“It isn’t amazing that everything is pivoting to benefit Rivers individuals. The untruths that the PDP has continually advised to its individuals are starting to self-destruct.
“We invite our siblings and companions who have gone along with us from PDP. Streams State has a place with us all and together, we will rescue our State.”
Accordingly, Owhor excused the defection of two previous chiefs, Ibinabo Michael-West and Dr. John Bazia as irrelevant.
