Shocker: Ebonyi APC candidate joins PDP

Less than 24 hours to the supplementary elections slated to hold on Saturday in three state constituencies in Ebonyi State, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Ezza North West State constituency, Mr Nome Innocent, has dumped his party and joined the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Consequently, he announced his withdrawal from the race and declared support for the candidate of the PDP, Mr Friday Nwuhuo, a lawyer. He also said that he was moving to the PDP with his teeming supporters.

At a press conference held in Abakaliki, the state capital, Nome who was flanked by the PDP’s candidate and other chieftains of the party, said that he took the decision on his free volition.

Nome, a lawyer, also said that he took the decision because his party, the APC, did not show sufficient seriousness that it was ready for the election to the point that its governorship candidate lost his polling unit to the PDP during the presidential and National Assembly elections in the state.

The statement partly read: “At the borderline of the whole issues were the visible unserious disposition of the APC in the state as demonstrated in both electioneering and elections proper where the party lost even in the guber candidate’s polling unit to the rampaging People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the presidential and National Assembly elections in the state.

“With all the issues raised above, it became obvious that APC in the state was never serious in the election and thereby made some of us in the contest typical of a man in a wild goose chase.

“In the end, we were not only made vulnerable but also politically incapacitated to win the election as desired. This was evident in the way the party leadership handled the affairs of the party as regards the funds meant for the election and other things which were supposed to enhance our performance in the election.

“After a thorough consultation with family members and political associates, I hereby resign my membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and withdraw from the contest as well as the supplementary election slated to hold in Ezza North West state constituency on Saturday, March 23, 2019.

WATCH YOUR BACK, PROPHET EKONG ITUEN WARNS GOV. UMO ENO Prophet Ekong Ituen has urged Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, to be vigilant and discerning about some individuals who followed him from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), warning that not everyone around him may genuinely have his best interests at heart. According to the prophet, while some of these individuals may appear physically present and loyal, their hearts and interests could be elsewhere, driven more by the desire to protect their positions and jobs than by genuine commitment to the Governor’s political success. “In my revelation, I saw some of them working against your victory in 2027. I urge you to be very careful and discerning, because when the moment of truth comes, some of those who appear to stand with you today may not be there when you need them most,” Prophet Ituen cautioned. He stressed that leadership requires not only courage and political wisdom but al...
