Top secrets exposed as PDP chairman in prominent state defects to APC
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Henry Ughwujowhovwo, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Udu local government area of Delta, Udu DSIEC Ward 12, (Egini community) has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ughwujowhovwo on Sunday, February 6, claimed that while selfishness thrives among leaders of the PDP in the state, the governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, is not told the truth.
In regret, he went on to state that by 2023 those who own the land will prove so by the massive votes they will muster for the eventual flag bearer, lamenting that those who worked for the party are being marginalised while saboteurs during the 2019 elections are being favoured by their masters.
