The Deputy Governor of River state, Engr Tele Ikuru this afternoon announced his defection from the APC to the PDP. Below is the full text of Mr Ikuru's Defection Speech.
My dear People of Rivers State, I bring you honest and sincere greetings. Today, I address you out of the fullness of my heart. Recall that in December 2013, out of extreme loyalty to my Boss and friend, I joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) along with other then disillusioned Rivers People. Ever since, as the true nature and motives of APC are unveiled, I have continued to twist and turn in extreme mental and emotional agony. The more I struggle to belong, the more the Rivers man in me rejects the APC.
After carefully studying, interacting and analysing the leadership of the party, I have come to the sad conclusion that the APC is a party of rebels, insurgents and anarchists, clothed in robes of pretence and deceit. APC is a party founded on deception and it thrives on unholy propaganda and falsehood.
I therefore, on behalf of my teaming supporters, and my
humble self-denounce the APC and we all jointly and severally resign our
membership of the APC. My dear people of Rivers State, we of this
generation will not in good conscience expect forgiveness and compassion
from our forebears, posterity, and the spirit of our unborn generations
if it is recorded in the annals of history that after 48 Years of
Rivers people supporting leaders from all other parts of this country
with our votes and resources, we were the same that witch hunted and
hounded down the very first ever President from this region, granted us
by providence. I wash my hands off this treachery.
In the light of the above, I wish to urge all My
Supporters, the Good People of Rivers State to join hands with other
well-meaning Nigerians to massively vote for President GOODLUCK EBELE
JONATHAN (GCFR) and the Transformation Agenda that has brought so much
relief and succour to the greatest number of Nigerians. I also urge all
Rivers People to vote for Chief Barr Nyesom Wike (CON), who has shown by
his antecedents, track records and boundless capabilities that he will
deliver good governance to the People of Rivers State.
Thank You and God Bless You All Abundantly.
