The State Chairman of PDP, Kingsley Esiso, said that the essence of the rally was to reduce the position of APC in the state by 90 per cent.
“APC is a failed party, it brought us hardship and negative change which has made Nigeria to become the capital of poverty in the world.
“PDP is Delta and Delta is PDP and we will continue to harvest APC members in the state and we have leaders of APC that have decided to join PDP today” he said.
Among those who spoke at the rally include former governor James Ibori; Senator James Manager; and Minority leader House of Representatives, Ndudi Elumelu, who called for greater unity and solidarity in the party, assuring that PDP remained the only party that can rescue Nigeria in its present challenge.
