Yenagoa—The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Bayelsa State, yesterday, described as a “show of shame” the recent gale of defections of some of its prominent members to the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state.

The PDP, through its Publicity Secretary,  Osom Makbere, said that the defectors have no electoral value.

According to him, the PDP was not disturbed by recent cases of defection of perceived men of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Makbere, who spoke to newsmen in Yenagoa, said: “It is rather unfortunate that these fair weather politicians are taking undue advantage of the loss of the PDP at the centre to reposition themselves as APC members so as to curry favour and attract patronage from the APC leadership.

“Those who claimed to have decamped from the PDP due to purported lack of proper governance were beneficiaries of the magnanimity of the present administration of Governor Seriake Dickson, which appointed them to senior sensitive positions.”
