She described PDP as her “political home” adding that every politics must benefit the people.
Part of her statement reads:
“My first political home was the PDP. I moved with my former boss (Rotimi Amaechi) who was the leader of the PDP in Rivers State until when the party structure was taken away from him.
Every politics must benefit the people. I left the APC for personal reason. I could not provide for my teeming supporters and those who saw reason to belong to the APC because of me.
Now that an Opobo son (Sim Fubara) is contesting for the Governor of Rivers State on the platform of the PDP, we all must support him to win the election in 2023.
We all must place ourselves in a position to speak for our people. I need to find a position to speak for my teeming supporters and the good people of Opobo Kingdom”.
