5000 PDP Members Defect To APC In Imo

Not less than 5000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Imo State joined the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The PDP members were welcomed into their new party at an event held for Senator Osita Izunaso by the Orlu senatorial zone at the Orlu Township Stadium in Orlu local government area of the state.

The occasion was witnessed by national leaders of the APC, including the National Vice President Southeast, Dr Anyim Nyerere; National Organizing Secretary, Senator Osita Izunaso; Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha; Senator Chris Ngige, among others.

Chairman of the event, Senator Ngige, said, “the people of Orlu zone and the state should dump the PDP because it has brought hardship to the people through their bad leadership and corruption. So if you want to enjoy good health, quality education and other good things of life, join the progressives today.”

He stated that the APC is the party that will cater for the needs of the masses, urging the people to embrace the party.

Also speaking at the occasion, Dr Louis Obodo, who led members of the Integrity Group, a political pressure group, to join APC, noted that their decision to dump the PDP was as a result of the goodwill and success of the Okorocha-led administration in the state.
