Ahead of the 2023 election, Labour Party leaders in Ukehe, Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area (LGA) and in Lejja, Nsukka Local Government Area (LGA) of Enugu State on Saturday collapsed their structure for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the Governor of Enugu State and candidate of the PDP for Enugu North Senatorial District, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi received the decampees, led by Uchenna Okpe.
In his speech, Okpe said that they joined PDP because of their conviction in “the laudable efforts” of Governor Ugwuanyi’s administration in providing dividends of democracy in the community.
“Your Excellency, all the people who accompanied me to this place are members of Labour Party but as things are today in Lejja and with the commencement of the construction of our road by your administration, we have decided to return to the PDP.
“Your Excellency, I am very grateful that work has started on this road. We are going to work with you and support you to win your senatorial election on the platform of the PDP,” Okpe said.
