We’ll defend our members against “threats from any quarters” in Ebonyi: PDP
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi has enjoined persons who wish to join the party to do so without fears of molestation as it was prepared to defend them against “threats from any quarters.”
State party chair Fred Udeogu disclosed this in Abakaliki to journalists on Wednesday.
Mr Udeogu said PDP doors were wide open to welcome back those members who wish to return to the political party’s fold and would continue to protect its members from any form of intimidation.
The party leader was reacting against the backdrop of Governor David Umahi’s decamping to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the attendant pressure some party faithfuls have faced from the governor.
“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,” Mr Udeogu stated.
