A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gabriel Claudius, has returned to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) alongside his supporters in Elebele, Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
The defectors were formally received on Monday at a ceremony in Ogbia, attended by leaders of the PDP at the local and state levels.
The Ogbia PDP Chairman, Ofoni Morgan, described PDP as the political home of the people of the area.
He said that PDP remains the party that produced Nigeria’s first President from the Ijaw ethnic nationality, insisting that the party continues to enjoy widespread support in the area.
Mr Morgan described Mr Claudius as a grassroots politician whose return would strengthen the PDP in Elebele and across the Ogbia Local Government Area.
