Senator George Akume To Return To PDP

The national chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, on Monday predicted the return of the Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Senator George Akume, to the PDP.

He said that the minister who is the leader of APC in the North-Central zone would soon come back to the PDP as a prodigal son.

Ayu stated this in Gboko during the defection of a member of the House of Representatives, John Dyeh, from the APC to the PDP.

“Your lost son, George Akume, is coming back to the PDP. I’m saying this thing based on what I know,” Ayu said.

“I earlier prophesied that Akume would hold a broom and he did. Now, I am prophesying that he will come back to the PDP. When he comes back, do not reject him but make sure you rehabilitate him because where he is now, he is not thinking straight. He was a lost son, a prodigal son. Only rehabilitate him and make sure he thinks properly,” Ayu said.

Ayu who received the serving lawmaker who represents Gboko/Tarka Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives said he (Dyeh) had seen the light and promised that all the defectors would be treated fairly.

The state governor, Samuel Ortom, welcomed the federal lawmaker and his other defectors.

The leader of the defectors, Dyeh, said he decided to move from the APC to the PDP because the national chairman is his uncle.
