PDP’s soul is gone – Keyamo welcomes Fubara to APC, praises Tinubu’s influence

The Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, says President Bola Tinubu has delivered significantly for Rivers State and the South-South region.

Keyamo on Friday spoke during the flag-off of the 7km Ipo Town–Airport Bypass and the commissioning of the Ikwerre Road–Igwuruta–Airport Road Corridor reconstructed by the Rivers State Government.

Flagging off the bypass, the minister thanked President Tinubu for what he described as the President’s numerous contributions to the people of Rivers State, adding that Tinubu has made it possible for all South-South states to align with the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

He noted that Rivers State, traditionally, has never been in opposition.

Keyamo also formally welcomed Governor Siminalayi Fubara into the APC.

He said, “We set a trap to catch a frog, we caught an elephant in the person of Sir Siminalayi Fubara, welcome to the fold of the progressives sir, welcome to the big family, welcome to the largest party in Africa.”

The Minister of Aviation added that Fubara’s defection from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, signals the death of the soul of the opposition party.

He said Fubara’s entry into the APC means “the souls of the PDP has left the party.”

Keyamo was at the Government House in Port Harcourt, where he witnessed Governor Fubara receiving his APC membership card from the Tony Okocha-led leadership of the party.
