“I am very exited seeing you people here today, irrespective of your tight schedule, you have all gathered here for the sake of PDP to move forward, let me assure you, PDP remains and it will not die just as they think, but as far as l am concern the party will continue to grow and it will be stronger.”

Dr. Simon A. Ohwo who was also the convener of PDP in Ughelli North LGA, on the recent meeting of the party held on 1st May, also hinted that, “belonging to a political party is an interest, you cannot just wake up to say let everybody be in one political party; everybody has his own interest of belonging to a political party, adding that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori who decamped to APC has its own reason for decamping, stating that they also have their own reasons to say they are not leaving our the  PDP.

“When we heard that Governor Sheriff wants to decamp to APC, l personally did not believe, but at the end, he made his own choice, his choice cannot be ours; we remain in our party. It is PDP that produced Governor Sheriff today, so if, he decides to leave, congratulations to him, but l can assure you, PDP remains the best political party where dividends of democracy could be guaranteed,” Dr. Ohwo stated.
