Ex-PDP chairman joins APC in Abia

The ranks of the All Progressive Congress, APC, have increased in Abia State as former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state, Senator Emma Nwaka, has joined the broom party.
Nwaka’s defection is coming six months after he had “quietly resigned” his membership in PDP on June 12, 2024, which he later made public on August 30, 2024, citing “personal reasons.”
Nwaka, who was a governorship aspirant of PDP in the 2023 general election, had earlier sparked speculation about his membership in the APC when a photograph surfaced showing him receiving an APC membership card in his Oguduasa Ward 5.
He was presented with an APC membership card by the party’s chairman for Oguduasa Ward 5, Sampson Achi Ndukwe.
The APC chairman for Isuikwuato Local Government, Chief Udochi Okorie and other party officials witnessed the event.
A political aide of the senator confirmed the development to journalists, promising that Nwaka would soon speak to the public about his decision
