Ibori, other elders intervened for me not to dump PDP for APC - Uduaghan

Former Governor of Delta State Emmanuel Uduaghan has stated that he has not yet left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Uduaghan was responding to reports that he would be defecting to the APC and use the party’s ticket to stand for the Delta South seat in the Senate.

Speaking to newsmen on Wednesday, the former Governor said there were high level interventions that have kept him back in the party.

He said: “It is not true that I would be defecting either today (Wednesday) or tomorrow, but there have been a lot of interventions going on from the likes of Chief Ibori, the governor (Okowa) and some party leaders.

“In the last few days, they have been talking and I am listening to them. So, basically, some elders have intervened on the matter, and I am listening to them.”
