The
immediate past governor of Enugu State, Barr. Sullivan Chime on Saturday
formerly registered as a member of the All Progressive Congress, APC.
His
registration came with a declaration from the national chairman of the party,
Chief John Odigie-Oyegun that “Chime is not joining the APC because the EFCC is
pursuing him.”
The
registration exercise, which took place at Chime’s Udi Agbudu ward, in Udi
Council Area, witnessed a mammoth crowd.
Other
dignitaries at the event included Sokoto State Governor, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal,
members of the APC national working committee members, the Director-General of
Voice of Nigeria, VON, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, among others.
Under the
watchful eyes of the crowd, Chime was registered as a member of the APC in a
session coordinated by the National organizing secretary of the party, Senator
Osita Izunaso.
He was
thereafter issued with a membership card No 0669001.
In a
speech, Oyegun described the crowd as overwhelming, declaring that “I have been
to the South-East several times but this is by far the greatest crowd.
“I am
happy to be here today; change has totally come to Enugu State; people keep
joining but for me, the South-East is special. It is special because for too
long you have been deprived.”
