No fewer than 3,000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC), on Monday defected to the All
Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Ugbene community, Awka North Local
Government Area of Anambra State.
The defectors, led by National Chairman of Ugbene Great
Ambassadors Club, Chief Aaron Onwelukwue, explained that their defection was
informed by Governor Willie Obiano’s “sterling performance in office”.
Special Adviser to the governor on Security Matters, Chief
Chikodi Anara, and Chairman of APGA in the community, Cajethan Anako, while
receiving the defectors noted that the people of the area had made informed
choice by joining the party.
He described APGA as a movement which all well-meaning Igbo
men and women should identify with without further delay.
“Governor Obiano is embarking on long term investment for
the future of our children.
“So, Ugbene people have taken the right decision to join
APGA,” Anara said.
