Six LG chairmen are expected to leave and join the APC, while the Ebonyi PDP explodes

Six Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) local government chairmen in Ebonyi State have resigned from the party and are expected to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Six of the 13 PDP local government chairmen in the state have resigned, and it has been reported that this could be related to the party’s recent defeat of Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii in the electoral petition tribunal in Abuja, which was presided over by Governor Francis Nwifuru.

Agbom Friday (Ezza South), Nwofe Philip Don (lzzi), Nwobasi Ude Chizoba (Ohaozara), Chukwu Micheal O (lvo), Ifere Sunday Bright (lkwo), and Ndukwe Orji Oka (Afikpo South) are the six PDP local government chairmen that left the party.

The PDP local government chairmen said they are leaving the party for personal reasons in a letter announcing their resignation that was made accessible to journalists.

Augustine Nwazunku, the PDP’s chairman for Ebonyi State, quickly responded, urging the people to disregard the development despite the fact that some of the six LG chairmen are not actively involved in the party.

“Those people are acting carelessly and engaging in anti-party activities, as there is a standard procedure for leaving the party,” the speaker stated. Furthermore, none of them are executives on the Ebonyi State caretaker committee, so they cannot just suddenly stand up and begin to grant pointless public discussions about what they have done.

Many of them are no longer party members. They are not any of our executives’ members. They are deceiving members of the public using an informal trick. For instance, the local administration and his ward had suspended the chairman of Ezza South a while back.

They are either acting silly or dancing to music that someone else is playing for them. To the best of our knowledge, they are functioning independently, so the public shouldn’t be misled by this.
