Former Abia commissioner dumps PDP for APC
Agbazuere has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the
All Progressives Congress (APC).
The onetime Special Adviser on Public Orientation to Gov. Okezie
Ikpeazu, and former chairman of Isiala Ngwa South Local Government
Area of the state told the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, that he left
the PDP due to alleged impunity in the party.
Agbazuere alleged that the state chapter of the PDP was filled with
anti democratic forces which had made it impossible for good
governance to thrive in the state.
"As a democrat, I cannot continue to remain in a party that does not
respect the wish of the people.
"There is impunity and imposition of candidates in the PDP and the
only way to go is to join a progressive party," Agbazuere said.
"I will soon address a news conference on my defection to the APC, but
the fact remains that I am no longer in the PDP,"
Reacting, the state APC Chairman, Mr Donatus Nwankpa, confirmed that
the former commissioner had joined the party.
Nwankpa said, "The process of joining a party is from the ward. I can
confirm to you that Abgazuere has joined our party from the ward and I
met him yesterday as a member of the APC," .
