Owerri \u2013 The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the South-East will henceforth make it difficult and impossible, if necessary, for any of its members who defected to other parties to rejoin it.
The party\u2019s National Vice-Chairman, South-East, Chief Olisa Metu, stated the party\u2019s position at a news conference in Owerri.<\/p>\n

Metu said it had become necessary for the party to take such a stand in order to check the crises that had been rocking the party in the zone for some time now.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch crises are usually caused by members who defected to other parties and later rejoined it, after failing to find their bearing in the parties,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

The National Vice-Chairman said the PDP in the South-East was not worried that the more than seven million registered voters in the zone was far less than that of the North-West zone.<\/p>\n

Provisional voters register released recently by INEC showed that the South-West topped the list with a figure more than those of the South-East and South-South combined.<\/p>\n

According to the register, the North-West zone has more than 18 million registered voters.
Metu pointed out that the Igbos constituted a good percentage of registered voters in Lagos and Kano, the two states with the highest number of registered voters.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cOur people are detribalised and that is why they never bothered to return home and register as voters, they registered where they live and will vote for PDP candidates there.\u201d<\/p>\n
