The Senatorial Aspirant and former third- term member of the House of Representatives on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party( PDP), Hon. Daniel Reyenieju has been decorated with All Progressives Congress(APC) robes by the Delta South Senatorial District Candidate of APC, Hon. Joel Onowakpo Thomas. This shows that he (Reyenieju) is now a member of the party.
Hon. Joel-Onowakpo while decorating Hon. Reyenieju and the political actors, described them as people who have very vast experience in politics, adding that, he was convinced beyond reasonable doubt that their entrance into the party has added so much boost to the ever rising popularity of the APC, which will eventually turn to electoral victory for all APC candidates.
The visibly joyous APC Delta South Senatorial District Candidate, who works tirelessly to ensure a smooth sail for his political party in the forth-coming general elections, appreciated his supporters for the job so far done and appealed to all APC members not to relent in their determination to secure victory for all candidates of the party.
In his speech at the ceremony which was witnessed by mammoth crowd of APC faithful, Hon. Reyenieju, an Itsekiri and Niger -Delta- born leader, vowed to mobilise massively for his new party and ensure that the APC wins overwhelmingly in all elections.
He said, PDP is no longer a home for its members saying it has deviated from its core objectives, hence, the urgent need to join APC to rescue Delta State from its collapse.
Others decorated by the Senator -in-waiting are two- time Delta State House of Assembly Service Commission’s Chairman and former House of Assembly Member, Hon. (Dr.) Tonye Timi as well as former Executive Assistant (Technical Education) to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State and Chairman of the Technical Education Board, Comrade Michael Akpobire .
It would be recalled that Hon. Daniel Reyenieju, a dedicated member of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State, recently dumped the party that gave him the platform to the House of Representatives for the APC over what he described as deviation from core values that his former party was known for.
