ADVERT

In less than 48 hours to March 28 presidential election, the presidential campaign co-ordinator to Gneral Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential candidate has defected to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Channels Television on Thursday reported that the Buhari presidential campaign co-ordinator in Cross River State, Engineer U.Oko, left the APC to the PDP with all his supporters.


Oko reportedly pledge to mobilise support for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan, the candidate of the PDP.

The defector, who addressed a mammoth crowd of PDP supporters in Bekwarra Local Government Area of the State, revealed that his decision to dump the APC for the PDP was informed by President Jonathan’s excellent achievements in office.

It was gathered that Barrister Legor Idagbo, the PDP candidate for the House of Representatives elections for Bekwarra, Obudu, Obanliku Federal Constituency, received Oko back into the party.

Idagbo, who thanked Oko for the bold step, stated that unlike the broom, the PDPs umbrella was big enough to accommodate everyone.

The House of Reps candidate while praising Oko’s decision stated that he is a grass root mobiliser and an intelligent politician who would contribute a great deal to the continued growth of the state’s PDP.

The PDP in Cross River state have reportedly started to distribute bags of rice and other food items to sway voters to support its candidates in Saturday’s presidential and national assembly elections.

The deputy national chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, had earlier said the APC would totally crumble towards the last days of the campaign as more governors and chieftains will return to the ruling party.
