The state chairman of the faction, Alhaji Jauro Gire, had led some other members of the faction back to the mainstream PDP on Thursday, saying they had reconciled their differences with the PDP.

“For the R-PDP, there is a huge relief; good riddance to bad rubbish. Now we will inject real people with real political values in our movement. You have seen their own, wait and see our own,” he said.

Ardo described the chairman of the faction and the others who left with him as political jobbers who depend on handouts to survive.
