Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State, Mr. Fred Udeogu, has assured members of his party that they will always protect them against intimidation from any quarter while urging those in other political parties of a level playing ground, if they should join their fold.
Reacting to Governor Umahi’s decamping to the All Progressives Congress (APC), Udeogu told journalists in Abakaliki on Wednesday, June 2, 2021 that the party will continue to welcome back all those who defected with the governor from PDP to APC.
“I am making it clear to everybody that wants to join our party, PDP, to do so because we are ready to accommodate and protect them, especially those who decamped to APC with the state governor.
“I am assuring all members that we will protect them against any threat from any quarters.
“We all know that PDP has been a supporter of good governance. We know what roles the party has played in the development of democracy in Ebonyi and Nigeria, at large,” Udeogu stated.
