In a significant political shift, hundreds of members from the All Progressives Congress (APC), Labour Party (LP), and All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) have crossed over to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ward 09 of Udu Local Government Area.
They expressed disillusionment with parties lacking good intentions for the country.
The defectors, largely residents of DSC Steel Town Orhuwhorun in Ward 09 of Udu LGA, were warmly welcomed by the Vice Chairman of the PDP in Udu Local Government Area, Olorogun Saturday Mofoye, and the PDP Ward 09 Chairman, Mr. Efete Okolosi.
Addressing the gathering during an enlarged meeting of Orhuwhorun Ward 09, where party leaders were present, Mofoye emphasized that the PDP’s umbrella is broad enough to accommodate all. He commended the defectors for their decision to leave their former parties and join forces with the PDP to ensure resounding victories in future elections in Orhuwhorun Ward 09.
Hon. Mofoye, a former Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Delta State on Political Matters, underscored how this wave of defections will greatly bolster the PDP’s electoral prospects.
He urged the defectors to demonstrate their commitment by engaging with the community to bring more supporters into the PDP fold, thereby extinguishing opposition in Orhuwhorun Ward 09.
Some prominent party leaders including the Special Adviser to the Delta state Governor on Political Affairs, Hon. Peter Uviejitobor, a former Chairman of the party in Udu, Prince Sam Ugwujowhowo, the PDP vice chairmanship candidate in the forthcoming local Government elections, Mrs Omojevwe Oputu and the ward nine chairman Mr. Efete Okolosi, stressed the need for members of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP in Orhuwhorun ward nine to remain united and work for the victory of the party in any given elections.
They disclosed that with the wide acceptance of the party’s Chairmanship candidate, Olorogun Vincent Oyibode the people of Orhuwhorun ward are more than ready to change the voting narrative in the ward.
The party leaders however cautioned members against backbiting and pull him down syndrome in Orhuwhorun ward nine.
Hon Uviejitobor, Prince Ugwujowhowo, Mrs Omojevwe Onajite Oputu and Okolosi all pledged the unwavering support of the Orhuwhorun ward people to the Governor Sheriff Oborevwori led administration.
Hon. Oyibo Dile and Mr. Tanno Bruno who spoke on behalf of the decampees, promised to work for the advancement of ward nine and also canvass more of their followers to join the PDP.

Teenage girl allegedly stabbed parents to de@th, stabbed family dog, sent crime scene photos to friends
A 15-year-old girl from Groningen in the Netherlands was arrested after her parents, Johan and Mathilda, both 53, were found f@tally stabbed last Thursday, June 18, Dutch outlet Algemeen Dagblad reported.
The family’s pet golden retriever also suffered stab wounds in the rampage, the Sun reported.
The dog’s condition is unclear.
The girl took images of her slain parents and then shared the disturbing photos with her friends on WhatsApp after the bloody attack, the Telegraaf reported.
“You could see both of her parents lying on the ground with their eyes open. Her father was lying on the floor, and her mother was on the bed. There was blood visible and a knife,” one student told the outlet in Dutch.
Local police declined to comment further on the images, but encouraged people to never distribute such images online and report them to the police, the reports said.
The girl reportedly struggled with her identity and often pretended to be a dog, crawling around and barking on all fours with other friends in school corridors.
“She wore a tail, dog ears, and gloves,” another classmate told the outlet. “And sometimes she would make barking sounds.”
Johan and Mathilda’s relatives said in a statement obtained by Algemeen Dagblad that they “can hardly comprehend” the murd£rs.
‘We hope that everyone understands that we are deeply affected by the tragic events surrounding the passing of Johan and Mathilda from Meerstad,” family and friends said in a statement through an aid organization.
“But the support and sympathy we have received from many do us good and are heartwarming.”
An investigation into the slayings remains ongoing.

OGTV broadcaster: Police recover stolen Lexus RX300 as CP vows “no stone unturned” in murder probe
Ogun State Police Command says it has recovered the Lexus RX300 stolen from the home of slain ex-OGTV broadcaster Mrs Kitan Oyesiku and her security guard in Iyana Agodo Village, Owode-Egba.
The recovery happened during night operations, the command confirmed Monday.
—CP walks the scene himself—
Commissioner of Police Bode Ojajuni visited the crime scene for an on-the-spot assessment. He inspected the premises and got briefings from detectives handling the case.
“CP Ojajuni reiterated the Command’s resolve to leave no stone unturned in unraveling the circumstances surrounding the incident and ensuring that those responsible are identified, apprehended, and brought to justice,” Police PPRO Oluseyi Babaseyi said in a statement.
The visit, according to police, was to evaluate progress in the investigation into the double murder that has rattled the Owode-Egba community.
—What happened that night—
PUNCH Online had reported that a resident raised the alarm over suspicious movements around Oyesiku’s residence. When operatives arrived, they found signs of forced entry.
Inside, the security guard was found dead at his post. Oyesiku’s body was later discovered inside the apartment. Her Lexus RX300 was missing.
Police now say the vehicle has been secured and will serve as key evidence. “It is worthy of note that the vehicle earlier reported missing from the residence, a Lexus RX300, has been recovered by police operatives during the night hours,” Babaseyi confirmed.
—“Intensive investigation ongoing”–
Ojajuni commiserated with Oyesiku’s family and assured Ogun residents that “all available resources are being deployed to track down the perpetrators.”
For now, no arrests have been announced. But with the car recovered and the CP personally monitoring the case, police say they’re closing in.
Oyesiku, a retired broadcaster with Ogun State Television, was remembered by colleagues as a calm voice on air. Her death, alongside her guard’s, has renewed calls for better security for elderly residents living alone in semi-urban areas. [The Punch report rewritten]
