former Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi, on Tuesday defected from the All Progressives Grand Alliance to the Peoples Democratic Party.

The defection was declared by Obi himself at a well celebrated ceremony at his Onitsha residence, where PDP Memvers from the South-East and the entire country turned the place into a carnival, which was attended by a large number of people the commercial city for many hours.

Mr Peter Obi Explained that he defected to PDP from the regionally-based APGA because he found the PDP to be a better platform to work for national development. He also said his new party would afford him a better opportunity to work with President Goodluck Jonathan, with whom he had aligned in his days as an APGA governor.

In his words -“Nobody is more committed to President Goodluck Jonathan than me. So, I will work with him. I am going to work with the President. It is a question of working with the President wholeheartedly and not one leg in APGA and the other leg in PDP. There is the need for us to work together"

He has not defected and he did not make the statement you mentioned. Read what his reply was to those PDP members who came to 'beg' him to join their party.
