According to Muoboghare, “I have to leave the party because PDP is no longer alive and I have to bail out, PDP is a sunk ship and having survived the wreck, it will be silly of me to go down with the ship.
“What we are doing today is inevitable because the captain of the abandoned it and at this point in time, the party is no longer in existence and I have to move to meet up.
Before leaving the PDP, I have to study the parties before deciding were to go politically and I saw that, ADC, Labour Party are not the alternative because they are not organized as the APC, they struggle for stability.
“I did not know, when the Delta State Governor and others were bailing out of the ship, I thought I could savage the ship but the water was too much for us and as the it was going down, I manage to swim out.” He said.
