ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Elder Godsday Orubebe, former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs has officially signed the All Progressives Congress (APC) membership register in his Tuomo Ward Three in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State.
Orubebe, a key minister during the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, recently left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over conflict that trailed the recent presidential primary election that produced former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as flagbearer.
Orubebe while speaking during the occasion which was attended by a mammoth crowd of party faithful, thanked the local government executive members of the party and all those who left their various homes, and businesses to receive him into the party.
He promised to work with all members of the party without discrimination.
Orubebe who is the Director-General of the campaign organization of the APC governorship candidate, Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, told the party members that a rally where many politicians from other parties will join the party will be organised soon.
He assured them that with his leadership in the APC, the party would win elections for the first time in the local government area.
He also said that he is confident that Omo-Agege will win the governorship election and development will surely come to the Ijaw area.
Speaking earlier, the APC chairman in the LGA Mr. Nana said that entry of Orubebe was a good omen for the party saying that party has been more or less an orphan or sheep without a Shepherd.
He asked for cooperation from members of the party now that an ‘experienced leader has joined the party.’
