Enugu state APC condemns Defection of PDP Members
The Enugu State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has vowed not to accept any defecting member of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The Publicity Secretary of the APC in the State, Kate Offor, while speaking to journalists after the party’s State Executive Committee meeting on Wednesday revealed that the party had been informed that some prominent members of the state PDP wanted to change sides.
She further warned that the party would sanction any member found to be involved in unauthorised moves to admit PDP members into the party.
She said: “At an enlarged meeting of the State Executive Committee of Enugu State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, we unequivocally resolved that the membership drive aimed at enlisting Professor Barth Nnaji, Chief Jim Nwobodo and co into our great party be stopped forthwith.
“For us it is medicine after death, given the shameful result we recorded in the presidential and governorship elections, where we got less than three per cent and 10 per cent of the total votes cast in Enugu State respectively.
“Accordingly, we are outraged that some elements without authorisation or due process had already held sinister meetings with Professor Nnaji in his Umuode village and if not stopped will head to God knows where.
“We hold Professor Nnaji, robotic engineer, and our elder statesman, Chief Jim Nwobodo, and other eminent sons in very high esteem, however, we frown seriously at clandestine moves of some people reaping where they did not sow.”
