The PDP defectors were received by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and leader of APC in Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva.
Sylva, while receiving Comrade Eradiri described his defection from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) into the APC as a positive sign of better and stronger things to come in the state during future elections.
Comrade Eradiri, who is currently a Special Adviser on Youths Matters to the sole administrator of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Akwa Effiong has been an active youths mobilizer in the state and the Niger Delta region over the years.
After handing a symbolic broom of the APC to the defector, Sylva urged him to participate in the ongoing party membership revalidation/registration exercise in the state.
