A strong chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in Delta State, Prince Gabriel Nwanazia, has led over 200 members of the party to defect to the All Progressives Congress.
According Nwanazia, unresolved issues in the PDP made him decamp to the main opposition in the state.
Speaking at ceremony organized to welcome the defectors on Saturday in Aniocha North Local Government Area, Nwanazia said;

“I am a strong PDP mobiliser, a great supporter but today I decided to move my over two hundred supporters to APC.
“PDP does not keep agreement, I have worked for PDP over the years, I have delivered for PDP in all elections in Aniocha North.
“Today, no development in our area, some of the things here were done by APC. Crisis everywhere in the party.”
On his part, the only serving APC councillor in the state, Mr. Emmanuel Oweazim, said Nwanazia was a problem to the APC in previous elections in the Council.
“2023 is the end of PDP in Delta state, one of our problems during election period had joined APC today and a lot of persons are expected to join APC soon.
“Crisis has made PDP lose one of its henchmen and by the time Omo-Agege emerged 2023, I will no longer be the only councillor in the state.”
The defectors were received by the Aniocha North APC Chairman, Mr. Mathew Chinye, Adizue Elueaka and a House of Assembly candidate of the party, Mr. Bazim Boise.
