Former House of Assembly member for Arochukwu state constituency of Abia state, Hon. Elder Luke Ukara Onyeani has said his decision to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) is one he has been nursing since four years ago.

In a chat with newsmen in Umuaahia on Wednesday, he said there is no APGA member that is not a member of the APC, saying what he did amounts to movement from the boys’ quarters to the main building.

“In APGA, we work with the APC. In 2015, we adopted the APC presidential candidate as our own presidential candidate. In 2019, even though we had a ‘presidential candidate’ there was still an understanding that we will vote for APC presidential candidate” the former lawmaker said.

According to the former lawmaker, his movement to APC is borne out of conviction that it is a good development for anyone to move into what he called mega party.

He said nobody would want to remain in boys’ quarters when opportunity to move into bigger and better building is available. “That is exactly what I have done” he stated.

Hon. Onyeani underlined that it is not easy to be in a party that does not control the state, adding that the APGA, the former party does not have national coverage.

He said his movement into the APC will give him the opportunity to contribute his own experience to the development of the country.

“In APGA, we could not even do much because we are not in the state, we are not at the national level. Your idea and experience cannot be put to bear. As an APC member and former House of Assembly member, if the party is doing something, I will be recognized” he stated.

Won't doubt that.

APGA has a policy of working with any government at the centre. We worked with PDP before but have now shifted loyalty to the new power that be. And it has been paying off. Anambra has two federal ministers and many other federal appointees, something that some APC states can't boast of.

Setting up APGA as a regional party was the greatest undoing.
And the disunity among the so called leaders of the land doesn't give a clear direction.
They yet to know what they want.
