Sullivan Chime Defects To APC by kolafolabi(m): 8:22am On Mar 17, 2017
The immediate past Governor of Enugu State, Barr. Sullivan Chime has reportedly dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

DAILY POST learnt Thursday night that Chime defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC

His reported defection is seen to be a preparatory ground for an imminent political war between him and the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu.

Both politicians had before the 2015 general elections engaged in one of the heaviest political battles in the State as Chime planned to unseat Ekweremadu in the Senate.

The ex-governor later withdrew as Ekweremadu gained the upper hand.

However, latest developments indicate that the former governor has not given up on the Enugu West Senatorial seat.

Late Thursday night, spokesman of the APC in the South-East, Mr. Hyacinth Ngwu announced that Chime had joined the ruling party.

He wrote in his timeline: “Breaking News: Today, His Excellency Barr. Sullivan Iheanacho Chime, immediate past governor of Enugu State joined APC.”

His post, however, did not go down well with some Nigerians who felt Chime’s defection was to evade prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over his alleged involvement in the 2015 election money shared by former petroleum minister, Diezani Alison Madueke.

But Ngwu swiftly fired back at Chime’s critics with another post.

It read: ‎”I wonder how some of the opposite politicians talk. If their member is questioned by EFCC or ICPC or invited by the Police, they will shout to the heavens, ‘victimisation, oppression of political opponents’.

“But when the same person defects to (APC), a better party with vision for Nigeria, they roar that the same defected to avoid interrogation by EFCC, ICPC or the Police. Haba, which way my people?”

As of the time of filling this report, a text message sent to his then Chief Press Secretary, Barr. Chukwudi Achife has not been responded to.

I can say without any fear of contradiction that APC will take over the entire south east in 2019.

Just before the 2015 presidential election, APC was amala and ewudu plus islamisation party. Now, it is a better party with vision for Nigeria grin grin

Good news - assuming he doesn't 're-defect' (naija political grammar) to the PDP in future.

Effectively Nigeria becomes a two-party state. This move by the former governor gives the APC facial representation in the region and it gives the PDP reason not to take votes they get from that axis for granted.

Well, maybe it's the urgent need for site traffic.

Why not wait to confirm the "news" before publishing?

Or is there a prize for being the "first" to share?

I am sure that Fayose has also not given up on his ambition to join d APC,despite his initial refusal by d party.
If Fayose succeeds,expect him to term APC d 'greatest gift God bestowed on Nigeria' and PMB,'best president Nigeria has ever had'!
Nigeria politicians only ideology is that of their pockets and self.

Now that multitudes of PDP members have defected to APC, what becomes of our Democracy ? It is not always us versus them, it is about balance of principles and ideologies via debates and opposition of views and perspectives for a greater good of the nation. Now, that attack dogs are unleashed on PDP members just to cow them to defect and destroy the opposition, we have lost the bigger picture.

Playing opposition politics is anathema to we Igbos. We are not called AGIP for nothing. Opposition politics has been the forte of the Yoruba's from the 60's till date. Take a look at PDP, FFK and Fayose, both Yoruba men, seems to be the only face of that Party.
