Top secrets exposed as PDP chairman in prominent state defects to APC
Meanwhile, Henry Ughwujowhovwo, the chairman of the PDP in Udu local government area of Delta, Udu DSIEC Ward 12, (Egini community) has defected to the 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.
