The former PDP stalwart in Ukwuani who has worked tirelessly to make all their leaders in his local government and other PDP leaders in the country before his defection said with his exit from the party to APC, the pace of development in the local government and at the state level will move faster with the calibre of persons defecting daily to APC in Delta State.
Barrister Esegbue called on all Deltans particularly the good people of Ukwuani Local government area to have faith in APC, that has brought total transformation and change to the people, appealing that they should give the government of President Muhammadu Buhari maximum support and have patience with his government because in no time better days will come and Nigerians will smile again.
Some of his supporters who moved with him to APC, immediately after the news briefing, told journalists that with the calibre of Barrister Prosper Esegbue who has the interest of his people at heart, Ukwuani and Delta in particular will experience rapid transformation.
