The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has caught another big fish in Enugu State, with the defection of a former senator and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in 2015, Senator Ayogu Eze from the PDP to the party.

Daily Sun gathered that Eze, a two-time senator, had engaged in intensive consultation with political associates, stakeholders in Enugu and APC before joining the ruling party.

It was gathered that he has registered as a member of the APC in his ward, and that a grand reception is being planned to formally receive him in the APC.

Eze’s membership of the APC caused wild celebration in party, as members see him as a strong force in Enugu, especially as they believe that his entry will give a push to the campaign to dislodge the PDP in Enugu State.

Political watchers say Eze’s entry will alter political calculations in the state ahead of 2019 general election.

Associates of the senator told our reporters that it took a lot on their part to convince him to switch loyalty to the APC, arguing that their selling point was emphasis on the need to take Enugu State back to the mainstream of Nigerian politics as a way of ending the cry of marginalisation by the people.

Senator Eze is joining other notable sons of Enugu, like former governor of Old Anambra State, Chief Jim Nwobodo; former governor of Enugu State, Sullivan Chime; former Senate

President, Chief Ken Nnamani and many others, who have decamped from PDP to APC.

When contacted yesterday, Senator Eze confirmed joining the APC.

Big fish... south east politics, very funny..

Even the people have no regard for the former governors who made no impact to the region. When you talk about big fish in SE politics, you should have called Peter Obi and the likes of him, people who stand for equity and justice.

Be rest assured this man is only decamping with his immediate family if the news is true.

Is it not the same APC that just lost several governors, reps members and even the Senate president? I presume you get your news from a karaoke sellers.

famology:




Are you talking about the same Peter obi whose candidate oseloka ,came distant third behind apga and Apc in a state where he was the immediate past chief executive?please wake up from your slumber!

Those Governors and Senators that decamped knew that, the APC was planning not to allow them contest under it's platform.

This was as a result of their inability to make a positive impact on their Constituencies and the States they govern. They are failures and disappointment to their electorate.

Mention any of the decamped Senator or Governor who is doing well in his State/ Constituency with proofs.

Nigerian's are wiser now.

He's an afonja. Only afonja will mix with Fulani Muslim because of APC

PDP has no Fulani Muslim and that's why we're there

dukie25:

Esseite:


You see.. if the constituencies are not making positive impact like you have explained, how does the APC state governors make impact?

The constituencies are in the states...

Misplaced conception... oseloka was chief of staff to obiano if i remember correctly, who was in the same governorship contest. at the same time obiano being a close ally to peter obi. It was left for the people to decide, and to displace the APC, a block vote was given to the incumbent.

SE politics does not go with party sentiments 100% but the individual involved..

You obviously don't know that oseloka obaze was ssg to Peter obi.He single handedly picked him as pdp candidate for that election,campaigned for him round the state and eventually came far behind Apga and Apc. The joke is obviously on you,wake up!How much influence does he have on the people if his candidate came a distant third?
