Efe Ofobruku, a two-time lawmaker of the Delta State House of Assembly has finally defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Ofobruku was officially introduced as a member of APC by the party’s governorship candidate in Delta State, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, on Wednesday while addressing a large crowd of supporters at the Osubi Airport near Warri.
Omo-Agege had on Thursday, October 27, 2022, posted on his official Facebook page a photo of himself and Ofobruku wherein he announced receiving the former lawmaker who represented Uvwie constituency into the fold of the APC in Delta.
When contacted by NewsNet Nigeria via phone later that day, Ofobruku however denied dumping the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, under which he aspired for the governorship ticket for the 2023 general elections.
The speculation of Ofobruku’s move to the APC ended on Wednesday as apart from being introduced by Omo-Agege to the mammoth crowd at the Osubi Airport, he also accompanied the Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate to the camp of Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, at Okwagbe in Ughelli South Local Government Area.
Ofobruku who was appointed Special Adviser on Legislative Matters to the Delta State House of Assembly in 2019 by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, twice won elections to the State Assembly on the banner of two opposition parties.
He first went to the House in 2013 under the Democratic Peoples Party, DPP, and returned in 2015 on the platform of the Social Democratic Party, SDP.
