A former Speaker of the Ebonyi State House of Assembly, Hon. Chukwuma Nwazunku, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Nwazunku made the formal declaration at a meeting held at the residence of Hon. Amobi Nwofoke, Chairman of the APC in Echiaba Ward.
He was warmly received into the APC alongside several other notable figures from the PDP, including Hon. Emeka Otozi, the party’s 2023 Senatorial Candidate for Ebonyi North.
The APC Chairman in Ebonyi Local Government Area, Chief Patrick Orogbo, congratulated the defectors and assured them of equal opportunities within the party.
Nwazunku referenced the governor’s developmental strides and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration as reasons for his defection.
He pledged to mobilize his supporters to ensure the success of APC in the 2027 general elections.
