NO NEED FOR AMAECHI TO LEAVE – PDP! Peoples Democratic Party leadership has asked Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State not to leave the party. It noted that with the ongoing reconciliation in the party, there was no need for any of its aggrieved members to defect to another party. The party’s acting National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Tony Okeke, stated this in Abuja on Monday. Okeke was responding to a threat by Amaechi that he could defect to another party if the PDP no longer wanted to accommodate him. But Okeke said, “There is no need for him (Amaechi) or anyone to leave the party. The reconciliation efforts going on in the party now are all encompassing and we are very positive and hopeful and because of this, there is no need for anyone to leave the party, not even now or in the future.” Also, a member of the House of Reps, Mr. Dakuku Peterside, has warned that the PDP will lose the 2015 election if it fails to reconcile its aggrieved members and resolve the crisis rocking it. Peterside stated that without reconciling members of the party, it would be difficult for it to win the next general elections in the country. The lawmaker said the PDP was currently in disarray, adding that any political party in such a situation would not win any election. The lawmaker said, “If you say the PDP in Rivers State is in disarray, are you not sure the party (PDP) in Nigeria is in disarray?”
