OWERRI — A former senatorial aspirant in Imo, Mr. Hillary Ugochukwu, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He announced his defection at a formal reception organised in his honour by leaders of the All Progressives Congress in Owerri on Saturday.
Ugochukwu, who hailed Gov. Hope Uzodimma for his achievements in the state, expressed willingness to work together with the state government.
The former PDP aspirant, an agriculturist and estate developer called on his supporters to join him in his struggle to make Imo a better place to live.
He further said he had already registered with the APC in his home ward of Ogwa in Mbaitoli LGA of Imo before his advancement to the state level.
” After careful thought and due consultation, I have decided to join the ruling party so as to have the right platform to fully support the development milestones of Gov. Hope Uzodimma “, he said.
Receiving him at the APC secretariat in Owerri, Mr. Lemmy Akakem, a chieftain of the party, described Ugochukwu’s choice of working with the state government as an indication that the administration was one to beat.
He called on other politicians in the state to toe the same path for progress
