PDP senator Urhoghide rejoins APC ahead of Edo governorship election
A two-time senator representing Edo South on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Matthew Urhoghide, has officially decamped to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He formally defected to the APC from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at an event in Benin City on Saturday.His return to the APC is coming after what he described as a 13-year-three-month sojourn in the PDP.
Top APC leaders including Senator Adams Oshiomhole and the state executive were on the ground to receive the entrants into the party.
During the event, Oshiomhole who apologised to Senator Uroghide for the error in judgment years ago which led to him choosing another aspirant over Uroghide, welcomed him back to the fold.
He described Senator Uroghide among others as a robust resourceful, dogged, politician whose wealth of experience will have a great impact on the party’s chances of success.
Oshiomhole thereafter nominated Uroghide as the party’s director general for the upcoming Edo State governorship election campaign team, a position the former lawmaker accepted.
