The Delta State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has lamented the Tuesday’s defection of the immediate past governor of the state, Mr. Emmanuel Uduaghan to the All Progressives Congress, (APC), saying though, he has the right to freedom of association.
In a statement signed by the state publicity of the party, Mr. Ifeanyi Michael Osuoza, titled “Uduaghan: We Are Still Very Indivisible And Formidable”, and obtained by HardReporters, said, the party still believes that in no distant future, the ex-governor will do some soul-searching and come back to his original political family.
“The Delta State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
wish to express its warm and sincere felicitations to His Excellency, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, the immediate past Governor of Delta State, who until recently, was a well-respected leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP family in Delta State.
“Although it is sad that he has decided to join a new political family, we appreciate the fact that he has his right to freedom of association, but we believe that in no distant future, he will do some soul-searching and come back to his original political family.
“We do not claim to possess any knowledge of the factors or circumstances that may have influenced or inspired his decision to join another political family, but it is only to be expected that a family will surely feel a sense of loss under the current circumstance.
“We want to assure the teeming members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Delta State in particular and Nigeria in general, that Delta State PDP Political Family remains strong, indivisible and we shall continue to forge ahead in our preparation for the forthcoming general elections.” the statement stated.
