Imo PDP chair, 6 others join APC

A former Chairman of the Imo State chapter of the PDP, Mr. Charles Ezekwem, has defected to the ruling APC. Mr. Ezekwem, who decamped along with six members of the state exco of the party, was received by Gov. Hope Uzodimma at a brief ceremony at the party’s secretariat in Owerri.

However, the PDP has dismissed as inconsequential the current wave of defections from the party to the APC by some members of its executive in the state.

Addressing a press conference in Owerri, the state Chairman of the party, Sir Martin Ejiogu, described the exit of the former officials as a reprieve, relief and positive development for the party PDP.
