….as Hon. Ezemonye, 700 members of PDP decamp to APC
Over 700 People’s Democratic Party, (PDP) members under the aegis of Ubima Progressive Group in Ikwerre Local Government Area last Friday defected to the All Progressives Congress, (APC).
Leader of the group and Grassroots Development Initiative coordinator in the community, Prince Chinedu-Ordu told a mammoth crowd of APC
faithful in Ubima that the PDP which they belonged to and worked for has reneged on its promises and abandoned them.
Speaking at the event which attracted a lot of party supporters in the area and beyond, Hon. Ezemonye Ezekiel-Amadi, a frontline aspirant for
the House of Representatives in Ikwerre/Emohua Federal Constituency and immediate past Commissioner for Lands and Survey in the state, said the move was a welcome development.
He also urged the defectors to support the Minister of Transportation, Rt.Hon.Chibuike Amaechi and work for the success of the party in the 2019 general elections.
Receiving the defectors, the Leader of the APC in Ikwerre Local Government Area, Hon. Chibike Ikenga urged them to be worthy ambassadors of the party.
Hon. Ikenga on behalf of the party handed the defectors to the Chairman of the party in the area, Hon. Bestman Amadi who welcomed
them to the APC family.
Hon. Amadi equally taxed them to work for the success of the party in the 2019 general elections.
Highlights of the event were solidarity speeches and burning of insignia and sundry paraphernalia of the PDP by the defectors.
