Over 3,000 supporters and three Reps abandon the PDP in Imo

Three House of Representatives members from Imo State have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), which is in power and has more than 3,000 followers.

At the party on Monday in Owerri’s Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu Square, Imo Governor Hope Uzodinma welcomed the defectors.

Prior to the state’s November 11 governorship elections, the federal lawmakers—among them Hon. Ikenna Elezieanya, Hon. Bede Ekeh, Hon. Henry Nwawuba, and a host of others—made the decision.

The APC is one, whether the members are old or new, Governor Uzodinma, who is running for re-election for a second term, reassured the defectors in his welcome speech.

“There is no new member in APC and there is no old member in APC, we are one,” the governor claimed.

In addition, Governor Uzodinma exhorted all Imo children, whatever of their political membership, to work with him to bring prosperity to Ndi Imo.
