Former Delta Governor dumps APC
Former Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, has officially announced his defection from the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress to the Peoples Democratic Party.
Uduaghan re-joined the PDP at his Unit 1, Ward 6, at Abigborodo, his country home, and was cheered to the venue by thousands of his supporters on Monday.
“I am back to join forces with other party greats to strengthen our party, the largest party in Africa -PDP!,” the ex-governor had earlier stated on his Twitter handle.
He left the APC barely one year after his move to the party on 29 August, 2019, in protest of his alleged maltreatment in PDP.
There have been insinuations that the former governor is planning a comeback to the PDP in a bid to boost his chances in 2023 as PDP now fully controlled the South-South region.
Uduaghan met with Governor Ifeanyi Okoya fortnight ago in his bid to return to PDP.
He also met with James Ibori, who was also a former governor in Delta State.
Uduaghan was the Governor of Delta State on PDP platform for eight years (2007-2015).
