Barrister Prosper Esegbue, former Chairmanship Aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ukwuani Local Government Area of Delta State, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) with his supporters numbering over 1000.

The former PDP chieftain, who addressed his supporters during the defection ceremony at Obiaruku, maintained that he decided with his followers to move to APC after realising that PDP had nothing more to offer Nigerians having destroyed the country for 16 years.

The legal luminary explained that since the inception of democracy in Nigeria, it has been the same old story from the PDP, whereas, they at the leadership positions have failed to address the plights of their electorate, instead, they continue to fill their pockets with stolen money to the detriment of those they are made to serve.

He lamented that even workers salaries had not been paid for one and a half years after, as other social amenities needed by the good people of Delta State were also not forthcoming.

He revealed that a reception party has been arranged for him and his overwhelming supporters from Ukwuani at the state capital by the leadership of Delta State APC and at the National level, predicting that better days are ahead for all APC controlled States as well as the national level.

Barrister Esegbue called on all Deltans particularly the people of Ukwuani Local Government Area to have faith in APC for total transformation and change to the people, appealed that they should give the government of President Muhammadu Buhari maximum support, and have patience with his government.
