Senator Sonny Ogbuoji (PDP/Ebonyi South) withdrew his earlier defection notice from PDP to APC for further consultation with his colleagues following mild drama at the Upper chamber.
Mild drama occurred on Wednesday when the Senator announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He was however interrupted by his PDP colleagues who opposed his plans, thereby creating a rowdy session.
The rowdiness lasted for about 10 minutes while the PDP Senators physically blocked Ogbuoji from moving away from the opposition wing.
It took the intervention of Senate President, Bukola Saraki, who called for calm and urged the Senator to signify any other time he wants to announce his defection.
Ogbuoji thereafter rescinded his decision to defect.
Recall that senator Ogbuoji had earlier notify his defection at the party’s south east caucus meeting that took place at the hometown of the minister of science and technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, in Uburu community, Ohaozara LGA of the state.
