Moments ago, ENigeria News published the news of Chijioke Edeoga, a former governorship candidate of the Labour Party, returning to the Peoples Democratic Party on Monday in Enugu.
However, speaking on the development, Chijioke Edeoga has further clarified why he decided to return to the PDP despite being a powerful opposition force as a Labour Party member.
He said, “I am impressed by Governor Mbah’s visionary, disruptive, and transformative leadership, which has inspired me to return to the PDP.”
“I know that my decision to return to the PDP may not be appreciated by some, but I believe it is time for us to unite as a family and form a formidable front,” he said.
ENigeria News reports that while welcoming Edeoga back to the party, the Enugu State PDP Chairman, Dr. Martin Chukwunwike, noted that his return was a testament to Governor Mbah’s “audacious leadership.”
“We are excited to have Edeoga back in the PDP fold, and we are confident that more former members who had left the party would soon return,” he said.
The Chairman of Isi-uzo Local Government Area, Mr. Obiora Obegu, described Edeoga’s return as “a step in the right direction.”
“With Edeoga’s return, the PDP will now become stronger and more united, free from distractions and rancor,” he added.
Edeoga was joined by other notable Labour Party members, who showed their support for his decision by joining him at the PDP secretariat in GRA Enugu.
