Uduaghan dumps PDP for APC, attends caucus meeting

The immediate past governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Ewetan Uduaghan has formally announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Uduaghan, a founding member of the PDP and Delta South Senate aspirant in 2019 confirmed his defection at a meeting of the APC national caucus held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Tuesday.

The meeting was attended by leaders of the party, including national officers, state governors, former state governors, ministers and National Assembly members.

Speaking on reasons for his defection, Dr. Uduaghan in a statement on Wednesday entitled “MOVING ON TO THE BIGGER PLAYING FIELD”, said with his desire to attract development and bring a permanent solution to the Niger Delta crisis, the APC was the only platform he can achieve his aims for the region judging from its progressiveness and the leadership style of the President, Muhammadu Buhari.
