Ayade: Remain united, PDP urges members in Cross River
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged its members in Cross River to remain united following Governor Ben Ayade’s defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The PDP said this in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja on Thursday.
Mr Ologbondiyan urged the members to ensure that all structures of the party in the state remained intact.
“The PDP wishes Ayade well in his new political sojourn as well as in his future endeavours,” he said.
Mr Ayade, on Thursday, defected from the PDP to the APC.
He said his defection was to align the state with the ruling party at the centre for prosperous growth and development and to also join hands with President Muhammadu Buhari in building the nation.
