250 APGA members join APC in Abia

About two hundred and fifty members of the All Progressives Grand
Alliance from Urban ward 3 in Umuahia north local government of Abia
state on Friday, dumped the party for the All Progressives Congress,
APC.

Giving reason why they dumped APGA for APC, the leader of the APGA
defectors, Mr. Divine Victor said they left their former party because
of the leadership crisis in the Abia chapter of APGA.

He disclosed that they were over two hundred and fifty members of APGA
defecting to APC in the state,promising on behalf of other decampees
to work for the success of the party in 2019.

According to him,"Abians are yearning for change. We are tired of PDP
leadership in Abia state. People cannot feed themselves anymore
because of the failure of PDP-led government to provide democracy
dividends to the people.

"We believe APC has what it takes to enthrone the needed change in
Abia. So, we are going to work hard to ensure APC wins 2019
governorship election in the state.

Receiving the defectors to APC fold, the Abia central zonal woman
leader, Lolo Josephine Chukwu assured the APGA defectors of a level
playing ground and advised them to work collectively, to enable the
party win the forthcoming governorship election in the state.

Speaking during the event, APC stakeholder in Umuahia north local
government area of Abia state, Sir Maduakolam Adighibe commended the
APGA decampees for their courage to join the progressives and assured
them that they would be carried along in the affairs of the party.
