2019: Uduaghan vows to move PDP members in Niger Delta to APC
Former Governor of Delta State, Emmanuel Uduaghan, has vowed to mobilise all members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the Niger Delta region to join the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Uduaghan said this while explaining why he described himself as ‘John the Baptist’ when he defected from the PDP to APC a few weeks ago.
Speaking on Monday at Olomoro, Isoko South, where he paid a condolence visit to Lucy Esigie, the former governor urged the Delta APC leadership to prepare for a battle.
He noted that it would not be easy but, “victory is certain.”
He said, “They have been trying to deconstruct the meaning of John the Baptist that I used in my defection statement.
“They are breaking their heads over it and wondering who and who will Uduaghan take to the APC.
“Well, my new role as John the Baptist would be to mobilise virtually every PDP member, not just in Delta State but also in the Niger Delta to the progressives’ fold.
“There are some people that we will not allow to cross over. They know themselves.”
