Over 200 DPP members defect to PDP in Delta

Over 200 members of the Democratic Peoples Party at the weekend defected to the Peoples Democratic Party in Otorho Agbon, headquarters of Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta State.
Among those that defected were former candidate of the DPP who contested the 2011 Federal House of Representatives election in Ethiope Federal Constituency, Barrister Lovett Idisi, and Blessing Ohwavborua.
The DPP defectors said they were once members of the PDP but left the party because of the manner the party was being run by some leaders of the party and said they have returned to their party.
Speaking at the ceremony, Idisi said he was a member of the PDP before he left the party for DPP for personal reasons and incessant anointing of aspirants, which had never seen the light of the day.
Idisi said: “I was a member of this family but left the party when l began to sense some foul play and most importantly, when l was anointed by a leader of the party, but later my hope was dashed after having anointed me as a candidate of the party for Ethiope East Federal Constituency.
“But when later I realised my anointing was a mere dream, l had to leave the party.
“Now l have come back to where l belong.”
