Anambra APC Governorship aspirant defects to PPA
A former governorship aspirant of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Mr Godwin Ezeemo in Anambra state has defected 
to the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA), claiming that the APC was not democratic enough.
Ezeemo spoke made the declaration through Mr Okey Nwoke, the Publicity Secretary of his campaign organisation, “because of the high level of electoral malpractice at its primaries, which produced Sen. Chris Ngige as the governorship candidate.’’
According to Ezeemo, APC failed to conduct the gubernatorial primaries on the principles of equity and fairness. While addressing journalists in Awka on Saturday, he said he decamped to PPA because APC lacked internal democracy.
“The National leadership of APC had already made up their mind on who would have the ticket; the primary election was, therefore, a mere formality. “Equal opportunities were not given to all the aspirants; plans for the programme were vague to other aspirants, while all required information was given only to Sen. Ngige. I considered this as unfair and I decided to leave for another party,’’ he said
He described PPA as a peace-loving party, adding that he had decided to use its platform to accomplish his goals and vision for the development of Anambra.
Anambra state PPA Chairman, Mr Anayo Obidigbo, said that the party would launch its governorship campaign on Oct. 21
