A former chieftain of the Peoples Democratic party (PDP) in Cross River State, Ntufam Maurice Omin-Iso has likened the party to a sinking ship in the middle of the high sea waiting to sink.

Omini-Iso who decamped to the All Progressives Congress (APC) alongside his supporters on Saturday, also cited Governor Bassey Otu’s track record in infrastructure development as another reason for his defection.

He made the revelation on Monday in Calabar, the Cross River State capital while speaking with LEADERSHIP, two days after he dumped his former party.

The former PDP chieftain who stated that the APC was doing better than the PDP, stressed that lack of internal democracy and internal division also made him to quit the party.

“I saw that Gov. Otu is a different politician who is doing well in the area of Infrastructural development.

“From the highway to where I reside, he has tarred the road. Otu showed me that he can deliver the goods associated with democracy. So my supporters and I had no option than to decamp to his party, the APC,” he said.

The grassroots politician averred that his defection alongside his supporters to the APC will afford them opportunity to join hands with Governor Otu to lift the state to enviable height.

He also refuted rumours some quarters that his defection to the APC was to evade persecution from the leadership of APC.

“My Crossing over to another party has nothing to do with fear to face persecution. I saw this present administration doing well, so I decided to join them.

*If they were not doing well I would definitely not do that. The Otu’s administration is doing extremely very well,”

He added that “I am not standing any trial against the government or government standing trial against me in any court of law in Nigeria.”
