Views: Visits 5 Gov Emmanuel By Chioma Onuegbu – Uyo THE Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Akwa Ibom State chapter, has dispelled widespread rumour that the state Governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel has concluded plans to defect to the All Progressives Congress, APC. The party in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Mr Borono Bassey and made available to newsmen yesterday in Uyo, described governor Emmanuel as a very committed, loyal and dutiful leader of the PDP, in Akwa Ibom State. The statement reads, “We cannot conceive the faintest of reasons why Governor Emmanuel would contemplate any form of movement, even in thoughts from the PDP whose values and ideological leaning resonates with his total development and leadership agenda; let alone to a party like the APC, a party synonymous with retrogression.
