The member representing Nkwerre/Isu/Nwangele/Njaba federal constituency of Imo State, Rt. Hon. Ozurigbo Ugonna popularly known as OZB, has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, announcing his defection to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, ABN TV reports.
He said his expulsion from the APC left him with no other option than to return to the PDP, the political party where he said he began his sojourn to lawmaking, reiterating that he will dedicate his political machinery to the advancement of the PDP.
Speaking at his Umuozu Ward where he also declared his intention to run for a second term for the House of Representatives on the platform of the PDP, Hon. Ugonna said his intention to seek another term was on the basis of the huge development he has attracted to the federal constituency which he noted will even be surpassed at his second term.
Addressing the Four PDP LGA delegates at their various LGA headquarters, the lawmaker promised to do his utmost best to bring back the lost glory of PDP by ensuring the party emerges victorious at the general elections.
He noted that this would only happen if the delegates make the right decision of sending a tested and trusted candidate to represent them rather than dwelling on dismissable prejudice of sectional positioning.
Enyioha Gburugburu as he is called stated that his covenant to advance humanity through politics is what has kept him in politics and he has no reason whatsoever to relent from that mission.
A delegate, Mr. Smart Ibe while recognising OZB as a ideal representation of what a leader should be, urged him not to forget those who will put the effort and ensure his victory at the primaries when he eventually secures the ticket.
Delegates present unilaterally agreed that Hon. Ozurigbo had performed beyond expectation and would do the needful to ensure the continued development of Nwerre/Isu/Nwangele/Njaba federal constituency.
Highlight of the event was the presentation of mobile phones and simcards to the over 200 delegates present which Rep. Ozurigbo acknowledged would act as a direct line of communication between himself and the delegates.
Present at the event where members of the OZB Compaign team, Leaders of the PDP from the four LGAs, Youths and Women Leaders and all PDP ward delegates from the constituency.
