Members of a faction of the Anambra State
chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) led by Comrade Tony Nwoye,
yesterday visited the All Progressives
Congress (APC) national headquarters in
Abuja in their bid to join the ruling party.

Nwoye, who was the governorship
candidate of the PDP in the 2013
governorship election in Anambra State,
disclosed that their resolve to defect to the
APC has been endorsed by former Vice
President Alex Ekwueme and other
prominent leaders of the PDP in the state.

“We are leaving the PDP on principle. What
they are doing in PDP is not acceptable to
us. We have taken time to read the APC
manifesto and Constitution; what attracted
us to the party is party discipline and
internal democracy.

“That was why we decided to consult
widely and we met with all our leaders, all
our financiers from Chief Arthur Eze to
Emeka Offor, to Dr Alex Ekwueme who
formed the party, and these our leaders
agreed with us to move because we felt
that we could not move without their
blessing,” Nwoye said.

He promised to work closely with APC
chieftains in the state such as the minister
of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris
Ngige, and APC national organising
secretary, Senator Osita Izunaso, adding
that they would work assiduously to
ensure that Anambra State joins the league
of APC states in the country.

He also pleaded with the Chief John
Odigie-Oyegun-led national executive
committee to grace what he called “the
mother of all rallies” before the end of the
year where tens of hundreds of PDP
supporters, alongside All Progressives
Grand Alliance (APGA) members would join
the APC.

Responding, the national chairman of the
APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, expressed
happiness over the decision of the PDP
faithful to join the APC, adding that it
would be in the interest of the nation if
Nigerians from the South East align with
President Muhammadu Buhari’s resolve to
address the multi-faceted problems
bedevilling the country.

“You are most welcome. I want to
emphasise one thing. We are glad you are
coming but we are not attempting to build
a one-party nation. So many years of
indescribable bad governance! You are the
engine room that makes things happen.
We got to the brink and the people saw the
light and voted massively for the APC,” he
said.
