Defection: Governor Ikpeazu Finally Breaks Silence

Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State has finally addressed rumours hinting that he is set to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Reacting to the rumours, the governor said he would not defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC.

Debunking the rumours, Ikpeazu said they were unfounded because PDP is the dominant party in the state.

While speaking in Umuahia, the state capital, he said he has not seen any reason he should leave the PDP for any other party.

His words: “Here in Abia, the people are comfortable with the PDP and I think the aspirations of Ndi Abia will be met and achieved under the platform of the PDP.”

Further, Ikpeazu said: “Nobody has been able to convince me that there is a better party for us here in Abia than the PDP. I am a strong member of the PDP and a leader in the party.

“In fact, I am the deputy chairman of the PDP governor’s forum. I will rather be a conductor in a moving vehicle than be the driver of a stationary vehicle.”
