A former minister of Niger Delta Affairs under the administration of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Godsday Orubebe has formally joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).
PM News reports that Orubebe, a staunch member of the PDP had earlier announced that he was leaving the opposition party.
Although he never mentioned the party he would be joining at the time, Orubebe said he was leaving the PDP because the present situation in the party does not inspire confidence.
He also said that the opposition has not shown readiness to regain power from the ruling party, APC.
Addressing members of the Ijaw family on Friday, July 1, the former minister said he joined the APC to deliver all five candidates to the party, especially those in the Burutu local government area of Delta state.
Also stating that the resources needed for delivering the task will be provided, Orubebe expressed pain that none of his tribesmen have been able to secure an appointment in a very long while.
Responding to the move by Orubebe, the APC local government area chairman in Buruku, Moni Seikemienghan Moni, appreciated the former minister.
Moni said:
“Ijaw Nation now has a high-ranking politician that will stand in the gap.”
