PDP Senators Block Sonni Ogbuoji's Defection To APC by kahal29: 1:15pm On Jan 17, 2018
A mild drama ensued at the Senate on Wednesday as Senators of the Peoples’ Democratic Party prevented their colleague representing Ebonyi South, Sonni Ogbuoji, from defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Coming under order 43, Mr. Ogbuoji announced his intention to dump the PDP citing the “crisis” within the party as his reason for defection.

Apparently aware of his intention, other PDP Senators interrupted him and soon the chamber became noisy.

The rowdiness lasted for about 10 minutes while the PDP Senators physically blocked Mr. Ogbuoji from moving away from the opposition wing.
Mr. Ogbuoji thereafter rescinded his decision to the delight of his party members.

“Mr. President, I came under order 43 with the intention that I needed to make some declarations this morning,” he said. “When I started, my colleagues from my party PDP feel that I needed to consult with them because of the love they’ve shown me, I want to step down my…”

His voice was again drowned by cheers by the PDP lawmakers.

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, jokingly urged the Senator to signify any other time he wants to effect the defection.

“In line with our rules which says there cannot be any further debates on this, his point of order is noted. Senator Sonni Ogbuoji, I will keep the whole day free for you for anytime you want to come back on order 43 today before the close of the session,” he said.

It is a shame. This could not happen in 1979. Nigeria is in backward motion.

PDP senators see jokers. It was all fun when PDP was in power and every lawmaker from the opposition were decamping to their party. Parade don change gear now and they are crying. The senator from Ebonyin and lots more will eventually decamp to APC and nothing will happen. Even the PDP leader in the senate, Godswill Akpabio will end up in APC when he eventually gets tired of regretting the support he gave to Emmanuel Udom. So bro, don't rejoice yet, your party is drowning day by day.

Re: PDP Senators Block Sonni Ogbuoji's Defection To APC by FBIL: 2:15pm On Jan 17, 2018
Sunday Ogbuoji (Sonni Ogbuoji) represents Ebonyi South District of Ebonyi state. He's angling to test his popularity as governorship candidate come 2019 by challenging Mr. David Umahi. But Ogbuoji has fallen out with his erstwhile friend, Umahi. Thus, he became tactically caged in ''Umahi's PDP'', hence his quest to change camp and test his popularity. It's not as if it's a favor to APC. Ebonyi is actually a core PDP state. Although the present governor is doing fairly OK if he can complete all of his projects but Ebonyians may suffer in his second term (Rochas in mind) considering his undue love for money and habit of favoring only the Umahis and every Uburu person (Umahi's community).

This niggar called ogbuoji is just a paper weight senator. Whether he stays in pdp or apc, one common thing is that he can not be returned as a senator again. The powers that be in Ebonyi has shot him off. He knows this.

The incumbent governor dictates the tune right now and ogbuoji is never in the good books of gov Dave Umahi.

You seem to know the politics of Ebonyi State. I suspect you are from Ebonyi.

PDP needs to be careful.

The presidential candidate they produce will either make or ruin PDP

I prefer PDP to APC any time any day

APC is only doing well in Lagos other ones are eyesore including FG

How I wish Peter Obi and Raji Fashola can go for it

I love the combo
