Uju Udeme Commends Delta PDP for Aligning With Ruling APC

An Asaba – based businessman and grassroots politician, Chief Uju Udeme, has said the recent defection of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and other PDP leaders, stakeholders and members in the state to the All Progressives Congress (APC), is commendable.

Chief Udeme, in a statement made available to journalists, noted that PDP was no longer the largest party it used to be in Africa due to unresolved crisis that stemmed from the 2023 general election.

He said though the party remained strong and dominant in Delta State, it could not be isolated from the crisis at the national level, which had led to gale of defections by some leaders and members of the party in the state in the recent past.

Chief Udeme, a loyal and dedicated member of the PDP, said the Governor, as the leader of the party, was right to have consulted widely with stakeholders on the way to go, describing the mass movement to the APC as the best option.

The political tactician allayed fears of the possibility of an implosion in the Delta APC, expressing confidence in the ability of the Governor to ensure a seamless realignment and balance of power that would be satisfactory to all.

He said there was no cause for concerns about the defection and urged all PDP members in the state to queue behind the Governor in that regard as the state would benefit more from the system under the ruling APC, especially the “Renewed Hope Agenda” of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
