Rivers State Deputy Governor, Tele Ikuru has defected from the major opposition All Progressive Congress,APC, to the Peoples Democratic Party,PDP.
The defection is coming just a few days to the Presidential election of March 28.
Ikuru who made the declaration of his defection in an address to the state on Sunday March 22, described the APC as a "party of rebels" and founded on falsehood and propaganda.

Ikuru who has been Amaechi's Deputy since 2007, said he joined the APC out of extreme loyalty to the governor

According to Ikuru “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 APC along with other disillusioned Rivers people.

“Ever since, as a true nature of APC unfold, I continued to twist and turn in extreme mental and emotional agony. The more I struggle to belong, the more the Rivers in me rejects the APC.

“After carefully studying 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 the robe of pretence.

Ikuru further urged his teeming supporters and the people of Rivers state to vote for the PDP at all levels of the general elections.

The deputy governor further stated “My dear people of Rivers state we of this generation will not in good conscience , forgiveness and compassion out of posterity for the spirit of our unborn generation if it is recorded on the annals of history that after 48 years of Rivers people supporting leaders from all other parts of this country without resources will where the same and handed down the very first ever president from this region granted us by privilege.

“I therefore wash my hands off this treachery.
