An influential politician in Ebonyi state, Engr. Henry Ude has left the Labour Party (LP) to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Ude who is popularly known as Ajim Best revealed his defection in a statement on February 8, announced by Abia Onyike, the Director, Media and Publicity, at Ebonyi PDP Governorship Campaign Council.
The political leader said that he left the LP for the PDP because of his belief in the capacity of the party to restore peace, security, and freedom to the common masses in the state.
Ude said: “I am in PDP now to join the rest of our patriotic forces who are yearning for freedom of movement, freedom of association and freedom for liberty and progress.”
Ude who was the founding member of the PDP urged the people of Ebonyi state to join the new political liberation movement as they look to defeat the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
