Receiving the defectors on Saturday at Adikpo Comprehensive College, Governor Samuel Ortom said they made a wise decision by dumping a party which he stressed is against justice, equity and fairness.

Senator representing North East, Dr Gabriel Suswam said the coming of Mrs Adzape-Orubibi into PDP has brightened the chances of the party while the state PDP Chairman, Sir John Ngbede assured the defectors of equal opportunities.
