Why I won’t dump PDP – Abia gov

Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State has debunked any purported plan by him to quit the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Speaking on a radio programme monitored in Umuahia, yesterday, Ikpeazu said he had not seen any reason why he should leave PDP for any other party.

He said: “I do not see any reason why I should leave PDP for any other political party. The music of politics as it plays differs from one state to another. Here in Abia, the people are comfortable with PDP and I think the aspirations of Ndi Abia will be met and achieved on the platform of PDP.

“Nobody has been able to convince me that there is a better party for us here in Abia than PDP. I am a strong member of PDP and a leader in the party. In fact, I am the deputy chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum. I will rather be a conductor in a moving vehicle than be the driver of a stationary vehicle.”
