Why Six Anambra Lawmakers Defected From APGA To APC Ahead Nov. Guber Election
Chairman APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee and Yobe state Governor, Mai Mala Buni and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, have hinged the defection of the six Anambra State lawmakers on moves by APC to capture the South East geopolitical zone.
BIGPENNGR reports that the race to the Anambra State Government House, Agu Awka, took a twist on Wednesday when six members of the Anambra State House of Assembly on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) defected to the APC ahead of the November 6 governorship polls in the state.
Receiving the defectors at the end of a strategic meeting held behind closed doors in Abuja, Governor Mai Mala Buni who immediately presented them with APC flag, reinstated the party’s determination to win the Anambra governorship election hence the resolve to engage critical stakeholders in Anambra state.
His words: “Mere looking at what is happening, especially now that so prominent and serving state lawmaker have started joining, the grassroot is moving and Anambra people are moving to the APC.”
The six state lawmakers include; Hon. Nonso Okafor, representing Nnewi North, Hon. Timothy Ifedioramma, representing Njikoka 1, Hon. Cater D. N Umeoduagu, representing Aguata 1, Hon. Lawrence Ezeudu, representing Dumekofia, Hon. Arthur Chiekwu, representing Idemmih North and Hon. Edward Ibuzo, representing Onitsha North 2.
Similarly, Imo state governor, Hope Uzodinma, assured that the South East geopolitical zone have woken up and committed to the national politics and be part and parcel of Nigeria, expressing confidence that APC will win Anambra state governorship election.
On their own, the decampees described the APC as a preferred political party in Nigeria, promising to mobilise support towards victory in the November 6 governorship polls.
The brief ceremony held at Imo State Governors’ Lodge was attended by top members of the party including, Governors of Lagos, Osun, Kogi and Imo states.
