By: Arogbo-Ibe Voice Reporters
The PDP Ese-Odo Local Government Council has reacted strongly to a statement by former Arogbo Ward 2 Secretary, Icon James Tam, who referred to the party as a 'cadaver and carcass.' The party described Tam's remarks as 'desperate' and 'ungrateful,' noting that his exit doesn't affect the PDP.
In a statement signed by Comrade Ezekiel Ugouwoni, Publicity Secretary of PDP Ese-Odo, the party demands an unreserved apology from Tam for his 'reckless' statement. The statement also notes that the party has appointed Comrade Perewei Richard Ifah as the new Arogbo Ward 2 Secretary.

Party Exit is Part Of The Game But Ungrateful Approach is Bad.
The attention of the people's democratic party particularly ese-odo local government has been drawn to a statement issued by Icon James Tam,former Secretary PDP Arogbo Ward 2, referring to the PDP as "Cadaver and Carcass" only shows his level of desperation to join the ruling party.
The people's democratic party is not affected by your exit but expected you to send a well articulated appreciation messages to a party that has mould you for leadership position.
Others have exited the party with some sense of remorse by initiating appreciation to the party for allowing them play leadership roles when nature threw opportunity at them.
Referring to the PDP as a "Dead body and Co**se" in your press release won't grant you the needed credit in the ruling party where you are seeking membership.
As a party,we demand you send an unreserved apology for the recklessness displayed at your very recent publication.
And again,the people's democratic party has received your resignation letter and the leadership of PDP Arogbo Ward 2 has equally acted on your replacement with Comrade.Perewei Richard Ifah.
The PDP Ese-odo is united to defeat all candidates of the ruling All Progressive Congress in the next general elections.
Best regards,
Ezekiel Ugowonni
Publicity Secretary
PDP Ese-odo.
