Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, on Monday, insisted he will not dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), no matter who the Supreme Court favours between Senator Ali Modu Sheriff and Senator Ahmed Makarfi in the ongoing chairmanship tussle.
Emmanuel made these remarks, while speaking in Lagos at an interaction with journalists.
The Governor said it was unthinkable, that someone like him who had benefited from PDP would quit because of an internal crisis that could still be resolved.
He also maintained that no genuine member of the party will leave because of the Supreme Court verdict.
“Regardless of who wins, we will stay to build the PDP. The name PDP remains. I’m PDP; PDP is in my blood. Anyhow the judgment goes, I remain in PDP. Nobody is going anywhere. All those going are looking for negotiation and we will negotiate with anyone.
“I want people to see my children tomorrow and say, you are family of PDP. Only greedy people are jumping ship. The Supreme Court judgment won’t change the name of our party. The party will stand on the mission and vision it was founded. We will build the PDP,” he said.
