Minority Leader of the House of Representatives in Anambra state, Onyebuchi Offor who is representing Ekwusigo Constituency has returned back to the People’s Democratic Party, (PDP) after dumping the party for All Progressive Congress (APC)
Mr Offor who defected to APC on October 6, announced his return at plenary in Awka.
He said his decision followed wide consultation with constituents and stakeholders from his area.
“Two months ago, I announced my defection from PDP to APC on the floor of this House. I have tested the waters and realised that my former party PDP is better.
“So, I want to humbly inform this House that I’m going back to my party, the PDP,” he said.
Chuka Ezewunne, member representing Idemili-South constituency, welcomed Mr Offor back to the party.
“As a founding member of PDP, I know Offor well and he is a good friend too, though temptation drew him to APC.
“We are happy to welcome him back to PDP and we urge other members to come back home,” he said.
Also speaking, Noble Igwe, representing Ogbaru I constituency, said “PDP would have won the just concluded governorship election in the state, if Offor had not defected to APC.”
“Your defection to APC was a big blow to the PDP in Anambra. If you have not defected, PDP would have won the governorship election.
“But we welcome you back to PDP where you rightly belong,” he said.
