National Leader of I See You group, Mr. Chizi Nyeomasila, said the rally was a forum for local government executives of the group to defect, adding that the group will also organise rallies in the various local government areas for members at ward levels to defect.
He said at the end of the programme at the local government areas, a total of 108,000 of its members would have formally crossed over to APC.
He said they had to leave PDP when they realised that APC had what he termed “a better programme for the state.”
“PDP is a failure in the state. We were there but have now seen that APC will serve the common good of the state better. Like Paul in the Bible, we now see clearly,” he added.
Some leaders of APC at the event were Senator-elect, Rivers East senatorial district, Senator Andrew Uchendu; Dr. Seconte Davies, Executive Director Marine Operations, Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, and Rivers State Chairman of APC, Dr. Davies Ikanya.
Dr. Davies, who was a former member House of Representatives (Degema/Bonny federal constituency) said the development was a boost to APC, stressing that the party was poised to right its loss at the last general election.
His words: “We are set to dislodge PDP in the state at all levels. It has started. Now it is two to one at the senatorial level. APC has two senators, while PDP has one. So you can see that APC is set for victory in 2019.”
