In what can be described as a dog going back to its vomit, the Member, representing Ekwusigo State constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly, Mr Onyebuchi Offor, has rejoined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the party in left to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), before the state governorship election which tool place on November 6.
Offor, the Minority Leader of the House, who had defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Oct.6, announced his return at plenary in Awka, on Thursday, claiming that his decision followed wide consultation with his constituents and stakeholders.
His words: “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.”
In his reaction, the Member, representing Idemili South constituency, Chuka Ezewunne, welcomed Offor back to the party.
He said, “As a founding member of PDP, I know Offor well and he is a good friend too, though temptation drew him to APC.”
Also, the Speaker of the House, Mr Uche Okafor, said it was the constitutional right of the lawmaker to defect from one political party to another, and wished Offor well in his political career.
Before adjourning plenary to December 7, Okafor said, “We are happy to welcome him back to PDP and we urge other members to come back home.
He called on members of the House for intensified sensitisation in the state on the dangers of consuming Methamphetamine Hydrochloride, popularly known as Crystal Meth or ‘Mkpuru Mmiri’ in Igbo parlance.
