Ude, one of the founders of Ebonyi and a leader of the LP in Okposi, Ohaozara Local Government Area of the state, confirmed this to journalists in Abakaliki.

He said that the reason he switched back to his old party was to help get the state out of its political quagmire.

Ude was a founding member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). He was known for paying for all of the media ads during the fight for the creation of Ebonyi in the early 1990s, when Gen. Sani Abacha was military head of state.

He said that he was sure that the PDP could give the people in the state peace, safety, and freedom again.

Ude said, “I joined the PDP to join the rest of our patriotic forces who want freedom of movement, freedom of association, and freedom for freedom and progress.”

He asked the people to join the new political liberation movement led by Dr. Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii, the PDP candidate for governor of the state, in order to take power away from the APC-led government in the state.

“I am assuring the people of Ebonyi that it is possible, doable, and feasible for PDP to get back its stolen mandate in order to reposition the state through good governance and care for the welfare and well-being of the masses.
