A faction of the Anambra state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by its 2014 governorship candidate, Mr. Tony Nwoye, have concluded plan to defect enmass to the ruling All progressive congress (APC).
Nwoye, who led other members of the group to meet with the national chairman of the APC on Tuesday at the party national Secretariat, openly expressed their interest to join the ruling APC.
The governorship candidate told newsmen after the meeting that the move to join APC has been endorsed by the former vice president, Dr Alex Ekwueme and other key leaders of the PDP in Anambra state.
He said: "We are leaving the PDP on principle. What they are doing in PDP is not acceptable to us. We have taken time to read the APC manifestos and constitution, what attracted us to the party is party discipline and internal democracy.
"That was why we decided to consult widely and we met with all our leaders, all our financiers from Chief Arthur Eze to Emeka Offor, to Dr Alex Ekwueme who form the party and these our leaders agree with us to move because we feel that we cannot move without their blessing."
Nwoye who promised to close ranks with APC chieftains in the state in the mould of senator Chris Ngige, Chief Osita Izunaso assured that they would work assiduously to ensure Anambra state join the ranks of APC states in the country.
