23 Local Government Chairmen in Rivers Dump PDP for APC

The broom revolution is still sweeping across the country. In a bid to
prove to the desperadoes in Aso Rock that the people of Rivers State
are with Governor Rotimi Amaechi, the twenty-three local government
chairmen in that State have all dumped the troubled PDP and
defected to the APC.
“We want to assure you that we will work with you collectively.
We want to reassure you that as mobilisers and grassroots
politicians, we are leaders, we will not disappoint this party."
These were the words of the Chairman of Port Harcourt City Local
Government and Chairman Association of Local Governments of
Nigeria, Mr. Chimbiko Akarolo.
He spoke on behalf of others at a meeting with the acting chairman of
APC in the state, Mr. Davies Ikanya.
He said: “We want to reassure you that as various leaders in the
various LGAs, we will continue to sensitize our people on the
programmes of our party sensitize them and re-engineer them on the
manifesto of our party and where the party is going to and how
progressive the party is.”
