Senator Stephen Odey Dumps PDP For APC, Describes PDP As Colony Of Looters And Power Mongers

Senator Stephen Odey at the weekend defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, saying the People”s Democratic Party, PDP, on whose ticket he was elected to the Senate is a colony of looters and individuals desperate to gain power to be able to have access to loot public resources.

Odey who defected with thousands of his supporters at Yache, his ward had very harsh words for the PDP.

“I was the one talking PDP here but now I am gone from the party as such the PDP is completely dead. The claim that PDP is in our blood is false . In whose blood are they talking about, come 2023 we will show them pepper”

Odey who was obviously angry with the treatment he got from the PDP stated that his ward is working towards having 20,000 votes and would deploy the votes effectively in the next election to punish PDP

“Anyone contesting to be governor in 2023 and fails to come here to negotiate what he will do for us is on his own. Anyone who sits in Calabar and plans to come here and rig should watch out if he will go back with his two legs”.

He announced that though he is no more in the Senate, he has moved to the next level to work more for his people.

“My style is to work for my people and if anyone thinks that my not being in the Senate I am finished should watch out and see how I am going to work for my people”.

The state deputy governor, Professor Ivara Esu who attended the event said the. large crowd which moved along with Senator Odey testifies to the fact that Odey is a man of the people.
