The Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party,
Chief Tony Anenih, has described the defection of five governors of the
party to the All Progressives Congress as a very painful development.
“Indeed, I had expected the governors to stay on in the party which
offered them a unique opportunity to serve their people. Surprisingly,
they decided to abandon their home and platform to take up tenancy in an
opposition party even when it was apparent that the effort of Mr.
President for genuine reconciliation was enough for them to see good
reason to show restraint and understanding."
