A member of the Labour Party in Ebonyi State, Henry Ude, has left his party to rejoin the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP Governorship Campaign Council, Abia Onyike, announced the move in a statement on Wednesday.
The statement described Ude as “a well‑known politician and one of the founding fathers of Ebonyi State,” noting that he was “one of the founding members of the PDP” and had “single‑handedly sponsored media advertisements during the struggle for the creation of Ebonyi State from the early 1990s to October 1, 1996, when the state was created.”
Quoting Ude, the statement explained his motivation: “My decision to stage a comeback to the PDP is to help actualise my dream for the people of Ebonyi State as a founding father and to join the current struggle to free Ebonyi State from bondage through the instrumentality of good governance.” He added, “I am in the PDP now to join the rest of our patriotic forces who are yearning for freedom of movement, freedom of association and freedom for liberty and progress.”
Ude urged the people of Ebonyi State to support the “new political liberation movement” led by the PDP governorship candidate, Dr Ifeanyi Odii, in order to wrest power from the APC government. He assured voters that it is “feasible, achievable and possible for the PDP to reclaim its stolen mandate,” positioning the party to improve governance and promote the welfare and well‑being of the masses.
