Reacting to the new development which has left severe cracks in APC, Edo PDP Chairman, Chief Dan Orbih said the following in a statement he issued on Wednesday:
On behalf of the state executive council and entire members of Edo State PDP, I, Chief Dan Osi Orbih, The Esama of Uromi, the Kulukulu 1 of Ogoniland, Oduma of Uzuaire and Eze Oha 1 of Mburubu Kingdom wish to congratulate Alhaji Buba Galadima and members of reformed APC for their courage, determination and forthrightness in admitting that APC has run a “rudderless, inept and incompetent government that has failed to deliver good governance to the Nigerian people” .
Edo state PDP is pleased to hear the news of your decision to reform, refocus and give direction and leadership to APC. We are gladdened to know that democratic and progressive elements have come together to join forces with concerned Nigerians to Rescue the country from the sinking, undemocratic, incompetent, clueless, clannish and unprogressive leadership that the APC federal government has bestowed upon the people.
Edo PDP looks forward to your positive contributions to the development and nurturing of a heathy political space, overflowing with love and respect for one another.
As the authentic and recognized chairman of the Reformed APC, we wish you well as you attempt to steer the rudderless APC to safety. To our brother Adams Oshiomole, the factional chairman of APC, it is time to embrace the Inevitable change in the leadership of your party and submit fully to the leadership of Alhaji Buba Galadima to save your party from disintegration.
We welcome and congratulate Alhaji Buba Galadima in his patriotic decision to be part of operation Rescue Nigeria!
