The Edo state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has congratulated the breakaway faction of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and commended members of the splinter group for having the courage to take the decision.

The PDP in the state said it was pleased to hear the news of the R-APC’s decision to reform the ruling party.

“On behalf of the state executive council and entire members of Edo state PDP, I, Chief Dan Osi Orbih, 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,” a statement from the party signed by Orbih said.

Premium Times reports that Orbih said his party was happy to know that democratic and progressives elements have come together to join forces with concerned Nigerians to rescue the country.

To Buba Galadima, Orbih said: “As the authentic and recognised 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.”
