Over 500 members of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, have decamped to the All Progress Grand Alliance (APGA) in Obowo local Government area of Imo state.

This happened at a sensitization rally by the Imo state government at Obowo local Government area of the state.

The Imo state Governor; Rochas Okorocha represented by his Chief of Staff; Jude Ejiogu, commended the indigenes of the area for their continuous support for the Okorocha led administration, and promised massive infrastructural development and free education programme in the state.

This, he claimed will ensure that the people enjoy dividends of democracy as well as the goals of the rescue mission agenda of the state government.

The decampees who spoke to Channels Television said their main reason of joining APGA is to fully associate with the developmental strides and achievements of the Okorocha administration. They promised to support the state government in its quest to touch the lives of less privileged and people of the state in order to make Imo state better.

Executives of state government, lawmakers, politicians, party members as well as indigenes of the local government area, gathered at the Okenalogho college field for a sensitization rally organized by the Imo state government in collaboration with the leadership of APGA.

The workshop was held to sensitize the people on the achievements and successes of the incumbent administration since its assumption two years ago.

The state government in collaboration with the leadership of APGA in the state promised to take the sensitization rally to all the 27 local government area of the state before the end of the year.

political gimmicks of Mr governor

Frm PDP to APGA to ACN to CPC to APC to PDP. D journey continues

pdp days are over

ckkris: Does it now mean Igbos will vote for Buhari or Tinubu against Jonathan? Impossible!

A few bags of rice, cartons of soap, bales of textile , gallons of oil and some cash to top it up have exchanged hands. When these items are exhausted, there'l be a counter headline of thousands decamping to PDP or the next party to dish out a largesse...Naija politics for you!

So how many members does PDP now have in Imo state?

Quiz of this thread: who can tell me how many parties Rochas has joined,decamped, rejoined and redecamped from and how many times? onwughi ta ka anyo bido ihu ndi awusa na uta

ckkris: Does it now mean Igbos will vote for Buhari or Tinubu against Jonathan? Impossible!

We will repeat what we did in the last general elections.
Vote APGA for governorship level and then PDP at the presidential levels.
Personally I do not care much about party, I would vote Rochas no matter what party he joins. I look at the individual and access if he is the kind of candidate I want. Party doesn't mean much to me. Even if someone like Fashola or Sullivan Chime should decamp to other parties I would still vote for them bc they are performers.

Hungry people who had sold their birthright for a mere 500 naira each, rochas is a disaster to the people of imo state.

Mr. Man stop abusing the name of God, don't you know that the meaning of "Chukwu" is God?

Imo people are tired of Retardeen and the PDP

ckkris: Does it now mean Igbos will vote for Buhari or Tinubu against Jonathan? Impossible!

Very possible. Igbos are progressives and will not waste another four years with GEJ at the helm.

Ckcris or whatever you call yourself. is Okorocha a yoruba or an Hausa man. Abeg wise up and stop deceiving yourself. The question you should ask yourself is. Rochas is he delivering on his election promises. If Tinubu or Buhari is elected tomorrow as NIGERIAN president will you reject your citizenship. off course you won't so keep your warped sense inside your pocket and play politics as it should be.

Point!!!

Though personally, at d presidential level, no APC tnz for me as far as they field a terrorist for president.

...deranged igbos i presume....if a traitor has delivered,then i will take my stand with him....i smell a PDP blood in u..sorry,d wrongs commited by PDP is being corrected in imo state..see it or remain blind!

Mark my word, Okorocha will lose out this time around.Ndi Imo will never follow him to vote Buhari/Tinubu, God forbid!! Mbanu...Chineke ekwela.

They will decamp into Kris Okotie's party if they are in charge of the govt and public purse. The same decamped now, hold the same loyalty to Ohakim when he was in charge. So don't read anything into their belly loyalty.

Tinubu is not running for presidency as long as we know, Buhari and Jonathan are candidates and so does 50 others too, what has it got to do with Igbo vote?

Disaster in which form, he is not in the party of your choice? even when you voted against him probably in the first place.
