Akwa Ibom state Governor, Udom
Emmanuel, has insisted that he will remain in the PDP, no matter who the Supreme Court favours between Ali Modu Sheriff and
Ahmed Makarfi in its chairmanship tussle.
The Governor stated this on Monday during an interaction with journalists in Lagos.
According to him, it was unthinkable, that someone like him who had benefited from
PDP would quit because of an internal crisis that could still be resolved.
He also maintained that no genuine member of the party will leave because of the Supreme Court verdict.
“Regardless of who wins, we will stay to build the PDP. The name PDP remains. I’m PDP; PDP is in my blood. Anyhow the judgment goes, I remain in PDP. Nobody is
going anywhere. All those going are looking for negotiation and we will negotiate with
anyone.
“Anyhow the judgment goes, I remain in PDP. Nobody is going anywhere. All those
going are looking for negotiation and we will negotiate with anyone.
“I want people to see my children tomorrow and say, you are family of PDP. Only greedy
people are jumping ship. The Supreme Court judgment won’t change the name of our
party. The party will stand on the mission and vision it was founded. We will build the
PDP,” he said.
