Peoples Democratic Party has asked its members in Cross River State to remain united.
The party stated this in response to the defection of the state Governor, Prof. Ben Ayade, to the All Progressives Congress.
FirstNews reported that Ayade dumped the opposition party on Thursday.
In a statement later by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP said, “Our party calls on all critical stakeholders and teeming members of our party in Cross Rivers State to immediately pull together and ensure that all structure of our party in the state remain intact.
“The PDP wishes Governor Ayade well in his new political sojourn as well as in his future endeavours.”
