PDP Chairman In Udu Dumps Party, Defects To APC
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State, Udu DSIEC Ward 12, (Egini Community), Mr. Henry Ughwujowhovwo, has dumped the party for the all Progressives Congress, citing petty and selfish politics by some of the leaders as reason, warning that the PDP was crumbling in Udu but the governor was not being told the truth.
Former Chairman of the PDP, Henry Ughwujowhovwo, in his statement during his formal declaration for the APC, disclosed that by 2023, those who own the land shall prove their strength by the votes they could muster, stressing that there will be no reason to boast but action will speak louder than words.
He disclosed further that those itching to dump the PDP in Udu are more than faithful party members because ‘’political patronage now revolves around one circle. By 2023, those in that circle, who take all the benefits of the struggle after general elections would go and prove their strength in the field. The era of ‘Monkey dey work, bamboo dey chop’ is over. Many of those who worked for the party are being treated like outcast while those who worked against the party in 2019 are being rewarded by the masters who have link to the governor.
