Sheriff’s Sack: Makarfi, Wike, Okowa, Others Can No Longer Hide Under A New Party – Princewill
Tonye Princewill
The 2015 governorship candidate of Labour Party in Rivers State, Prince Tonye Princewill has said that the Supreme Court ruling has brought to an abrupt end, the alleged plans by the Ahmed Markafi-led National Working Committee, NWC to form a new party.
He said that with the ruling the PDP Governors who were supporting Makarfi-led NWC can no longer have the chance to hide away and show up with a brand new party under which they were reportedly planning to contest in 2019.
While applauding the judgment which validates the leadership of Makarfi over Modu Sheriff as National Chairman of the PDP, Princewill who recently defected to All Progressives Congress, APC, said that Nigerians are more familiar with the antics of the “old PDP” under Makarfi than the one they would have moved to.
“I want to thank the Supreme Court for denying old PDP a chance to hide away and show up tomorrow with a brand new face.
“Nigerians know this PDP and are familiar with not only its ways, but its characters. The devil we know is better. He is much easier to defeat.”
Continuing, Princewill said: “For the neutrals or the progressives in PDP, you now have a clear choice. There are no vacancies in PDP. The top is heavy, so there is little or no room for growth.
“You can either go back or move forward. Here in Rivers state we have two seaports, two airports, massive land and enviable resources. Are you feeling it? You need a government that does not give excuses.”
“If your answer is No. You know where to come. Join us at the only place where vacancies exist for people like you. Where good candidates stand a very good chance and only a level playing field will suffice. A party where youths lead and winning requires a team. Work is about to start, so unless you prefer to come after the soup has been cooked, join us now.”
“I and many others will be here to welcome you to the APC. I promise you. You will see many more people like you”.
He, however, claimed that many in the PDP who were hoping for a new direction will find out that APC is now their best chance.
