- A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Enugu State, Comrade Adolphus Ude, on Friday, hinted that many past members of the Enugu State House of Assembly are on their way to the party.
Ude’s disclosure is coming barely 24 hours after Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State defected to the APC from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Umahi officially dumped the PDP on Thursday at a defection rally in Abakiliki, the Ebonyi State capital attended by APC bigwigs from across the country.
Addressing journalists in Enugu, Ude, who represented Dr. Ben Nwoye, the Enugu APC Chairman at Umahi’s defection rally, said discussion was at the conclusion stage for the defection of a number of former Enugu State House of Assembly members.
Ude is the Enugu State Coordinator for President Muhammadu Buhari Solidarity Movement, as well as the chairman contact and mobilization committee, under the Nwoye-led Enugu APC.
