EYIBOH BOWS OUT OF PDP
…declares for APC on Friday
Former chairman of the committees on media/publicity; Donor Agencies and spokesman of the House of Representatives and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom State, Hon. Eseme Eyiboh has announced a decision to dump the PDP and join the All Progressives Congress (APC). Speaking to newsmen at the Lagos airport, Eyiboh said his formal declaration for the APC will take place on Friday, January 08, at his home in Esit Eket Local Government Area.
Eyiboh explained that he was leaving the PDP because “the party was originally intended to be a leadership nursery guided by the principle of social justice and a platform to promote content analysis of its manifesto and implementation strategies of its programmes to Government as an enabler for good governance. Unfortunately, over time, its leadership recruitment process has thrown up economic choristers who have confiscated our common wealth into franchise thus turning the party and the state to ‘behemoth of monstrous proportion’.
“Today, the present system has produced preponderance of political ‘dealers’ instead of leaders occasioning in deficits in revenue yielding assets and sundry incentives to trigger community prosperity,” he said. He further stated “in the reign of this development eclipse, poor ethical integrity and deteriorating institutions; it is imperative for people with development orientation and appropriate content of mind to come together and inject a “new deal” to stimulate the collective urges and aspirations of the people with functional confidence”.
On his choice of the APC as the new political platform through which he hopes to further his contributions to the development of the state and Nigeria, Eyiboh said he chose the APC “because its leadership in the state has sufficient ideas, capacity and character to drive change that will enhance the emergence of contemporary and knowledge based social capital and new economic order.”
Hon. Eyiboh is expected to decamp to the APC with his supporters. Eyiboh served as the chairman of the State ethical and attitudinal reorientation commission (EARCOM) and was the State Financial Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Hon Eyiboh, a respected public communication expert is expected to leverage on his strategic media entrepreneurship, his netwkork with international development organisations to deepen the growing profile of APC in the state.
