Olalekan Adetayo and Theophilus OnojeghenA former governor of Delta State, Emmanuel Uduaghan, has said he decided to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party to the ruling All Progressives Congress because of the commitment of President Muhammadu Buhari to the Niger Delta. Uduaghan said this in an interview with State House correspondents shortly after joining others to attend a meeting of the APC national caucus at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Tuesday night. He said, “Politics is about interest, I’m from the Niger Delta and I managed a lot of crises in the Niger Delta. “The President was seeing a lot of leaders from the Niger Delta while the Vice-President went from state to state of oil-producing states, making a lot of engagements and agreements were reached. The people of Delta State are with us.
