The PDP has launched war on its members who have defected to the opposition party and shown support for them, according to a member of the Federal House of Representatives who represents Ideato North and South in Imo State, Honorable Ugochinyere Imo Ikenga.
He stated that they are determined to destroy the PDP. He mentioned a former governor who served as a chief of staff, an LG chairman, minister, and governor and who profited enormously from the party. Subsequently, he made the daring decision to join the APC and declared his commitment to the party.
The Sun reported that while speaking with Channels TV, Hon. Ikenga stated, "There will be no intervention; the line has been clearly drawn on this particular matter."
"You have a member of your party, a former governor who has benefited immensely from the party as a local government chairman, as a chief of staff, as a minister, and as a governor."
"The party almost gave him a platform to reach the heights he's at today, but he decides to walk for the ruling party that doesn’t want your own party to survive."
"And then boldly goes publicly to say that his commitment is to ensure that your political party, the PDP, does not come anywhere near winning any presidential election till after 2027."
"So there cannot be an intervention. They are no longer members of the party. They have declared war on the party. They’re committed to destroying the party."
