THE defection of former DP Party National spokesperson Emmanuel Lutukumoi to the ruling NRM is good riddance, DP National Co-ordinator for greater north region, Uma Kerubino has said.

Lutukumoi, over the weekend defected to NRM claiming that the DP and its president Norbert Mao had frustrated him.

He was welcomed to NRM by the party secretary general who is also the Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi.

Lutukumoi has twice contested to become the MP for Gulu Municipality on DP in vain.

Kerubino added that the defection of Lutukumoi and former DP flag bearer for Gulu woman MP race Christine Atimango had relieved the party of problematic people.

He likened the presence of the two in party to a thorn in the feet of a limping man, and their defection was a big sigh of relief.
