Enugu ex-guber candidate, Edeoga dumps LP


A few weeks after he met with the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Barr Chijioke Edeoga has finally returned to the party.

DAILY POST recalls that Edeoga left the PDP after the party’s primary election, and defected to the Labour Party, LP, where he put up a strong fight against the then candidate of the PDP, and now Governor Peter Mbah.

However, the PDP chairman in the state, Hon Martin Chukwunweike visited Edeoga in his Enugu home and prevailed on him to return to his political family, the PDP.

Prior to the visit by the PDP leadership, the APC in the state also woed Edeoga to join their fold.

Indications that Edeoga has settled for the PDP became clearer last week when he met with the LP stakeholders in his Isi-Uzo Local Government Area and threw both options to them. The stakeholders said they were more disposed to his rejoining the PDP.

On Monday, today, Edeoga finally arrived at the PDP secretariat in Enugu, describing his return as “home coming”.
