Delta PDP chair mocks planned merger of opposition parties

By Emma Amaize

ASABA—Delta State Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Edwin Uzor, yesterday, said that the party would not lose sleep over the planned merger of Labour Party, LP, All Progressives Congress, APC, and other opposition parties in the state against it, describing same as an empty threat.

Uzor, in a statement in Asaba, said: “Opposition parties in the state have no structures, be it in the ward, local government area or senatorial level, and no political party can win elections without existing structures.

“Therefore, the much expected mega merger of the opposition against the PDP in the state is only a threat over which our great party will not lose sleep.”
