Chief David Olukoga , an aide to former Gov . Adams Oshiomhole , and Chairman , Edo State Traffic Management Agency , on Wednesday , formally defected from the All Progressives Congress to the Peoples Democratic Party .
Olukoga led several of his supporters , majority of who were youths, to the PDP Secretariat .

They were received by Chief Dan Orbih , the party’ s chairman as well as national executive members of the party.

Addressing the gathering at the occasion , Olukoga said that he decided to return to the PDP after due consultation with his supporters .
He also said that marginalisation as well as ethnic , regional and religious politics and impunity in the APC was a major reason for his leaving the party.

“ I return to the PDP with a clear conscience , because I believe the party has learnt from its past mistakes and now well repositioned and forward looking , ’’ he said .

He called on all Nigerians to join hands with the PDP and rescue the state in particular and the nation at large from maladministration of the ruling party .
