Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Delta State, Chief Edwin Uzor, yesterday declared that the party would not lose sleep over the plan by some opposition political parties in the state to merge.
The Labour Party, All Progressives Congress and other opposition parties in the state are reportedly holding talks that would lead to a merger with the sole purpose of providing a credible and solid opposition to the PDP in the state. Although, Uzor described the planned merger as an empty threat not capable of unsettling the PDP.
The PDP chairman made this position known in a statement in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
According to him: “Opposition parties in the state have no structures, be it in the ward, local government area or senatorial level, and no political party can win elections without existing structures.
“Therefore, the much expected mega merger of the opposition against the PDP in the state is only a threat over which our great party will not lose sleep”.
