Former Governor of Delta State, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, has officially returnd to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Uduaghan had left the PDP for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upsurge of the 2015 general elections and contested for the Delta South Senatorial district ticket but lost to incumbent Senator James who was the Manager of the PDP.

It was alleged that last week Chief Uduaghan was at the verge of returning to the PDP after a closed-door meeting with Chief James Ibori, a former Governor of the state.

The political godfather of Delta politics, Ibori was said to have met Uduaghan along with Governor Ifeanyi Okowa at the Government House, Asaba and in Oghara, the country home of Ibori.

A good number of Uduaghan’s supporters, who are currently at Abigboro, the Itsekiri home of the former governor, are on ground for the official defection to the PDP. The ceremony is holding today at Unit 1, Ward 6, Abigborodo, Warri North Local Government Area of the state.

Uduaghan who was governor of Delta on the PDP platform for eight years (2007-2015), a Commissioner for Health and later Secretary to the State Government under the administration of former Governor Ibori, was said to have had a frosty relationship with his successor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, wwhich led to his defection to APC.
