Ugonna Ozurigbo, member representing Nkwerre/ Nwangele/Isu/Njaba federal constituency, Imo state, has defected from the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The lawmaker, who is also a former deputy speaker of the state house of assembly, made this known on Saturday at his Umuozu ward in the Nwangele local government area of the state.
Ozurigbo also announced his intention to seek a second term in office.
According to him, his re-election would further position his constituency for more dividends.
Below is a statement issued by his media aide on Sunday; “The member representing Nkwerre/Isu/Nwangele/Njaba federal constituency, Rt. Hon. Ozurigbo Ugonna has finally declared his intention to run for a second term for the prime House of Representatives position with the Peoples Democratic Party.”
“This comes months after it has been touted that he was considering to take the position after a collectively accepted wonderful performance in his yet to be concluded the first term.”
“Speaking at his Umuozu Ward where the declaration took place, Hon. Ozurigbo made it known that his intention to run for a second term was on the basis of the huge development he has ushered into the federal constituency which he noted will even be surpassed in his second term.”
