Jim Nwobodo Dumps PDP For APC by sayyid(m): 9:48pm On Jan 08, 2016 |
A former minister of information, and governor of the old Anambra State, Chief Jim Nwobodo, on Friday defected to the All Progressive Congress. Nwobodo, a former Senator and presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, attended an APC meeting, reportedly convened by Foreign Affairs minister, Dr. Jeffrey Onyeama, in Enugu. He declared his membership of the party at the meeting, to the surprise of most of the APC members present at the event. A former PDP senator from Enugu State, Chief Fidelis Okoro, also defected to the APC at the meeting. Okoro was in the Senate between 1999 and 2007. There were indications that the former PDP bigwigs’ defection did not go down well with the some APC members, who openly voiced their dissatisfaction with the development at the meeting. The party faithful could not hide their surprise, and shock, when Nwobodo arrived at the venue of the meeting in company with Okoro. Some APC members, who apparently understood the duo’s mission at the meeting, voiced their disapproval. Chairman of the party in Enugu State, Dr. Ben Nwoye, who appeared to have prior knowledge of the defection, got the aggrieved party members to calm down before Nwobodo made his declaration speech. In his declaration speech, Nwobodo had harsh words for his old party, PDP. Nwobodo condemned the PDP, and blamed the party’s leadership for allowing five governors to leave for the APC in the build up to the 2015 general elections. According to him, he is joining the APC to move the people of Enugu State into the mainstream at the federal level. Drawing from his experience as a governor, he said it was not good being in the opposition. He said members of the APC in Enugu State should not to be discouraged by the electoral losses they suffered in the state in the past. “You must always lose, what matters is the ability to rise again. “I must condemn our former party, PDP – I know we had problems. “I told our former chairman, how come did we allow five governors to leave the party? “I am not looking for a job, I am talking because I want peace. “I want our people to be part of the Federal Government at the centre. “I had a problem being an opposition governor. “I am not coming into APC because I want anything. “I want our people to be reintegrated and have our own share of the Federal Government resources,” Nwobodo said. Nwobodo recalled that while he was in PDP, his wife had always been an active member of the APC. He pointed out that the slogan “change” did not start now with the APC. According to him, it started in 1983, when he was an opposition governor. www.punchng.com/breaking-jim-nwobodo-dumps-pdp-defects-to-apc/ 6 Likes |

I don't like amphibious politicians that jump ships like pirates. But on a more serious note, won't APC become the new PDP when all this disloyal and hungry politicians defect to it? What happens to the party's integrity and their goal of fighting corruption? I think the legislature should pass a bill to limit or stop this trend of comedic political hubbub currently taking place. 13 Likes 1 Share |

How I wish party can reject potential member, I don't like this law that prevents party from choosing who to join or not. How much he steal sef, money wey no reach to buy Peugeot. They don start oooooo, just 7months as opposition, money don finish. Reckless spenders, sorry, PMB never donate give Apc, if and when he does, Ngige, Rochas, Onu and the likes go collect am before you even see anything. Anyway, I trust PMB, nothing go fall for una, the man ready not to spend than to spend when he no sure of what it's meant for. 9 Likes |

dustmalik:I also wish is true, I think the Electoral Act or the constitution (can't remember which) forbids a political party from rejecting a potential member however they can expel or suspend, which can still be challenged in court by the person involved. Sometimes, the LAW is an ARSSE. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Since Buhari and his cronies are hell bent on tagging every PDP member a thief, everybody will move to APC. Lets see how he handles that. Apparently, Democracy in Nigeria is already dead. It's only a matter of time before you see it. The moment you start to gag everybody, even the opposition spokesman, obtaining usless court order from one Aboki to another, to keep them locked up, the others will end up in APC like Amaechi, Saraki, etc. And for those kids shouting PDP is dead, you don't get it. PDP is turning to APC. So the dead people are shifting their Graves closer to the house. Sooner or later, the army will have to take over this shithole again. And we will be rolled back to 1970. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

This is preposterous!! Don't these men have any honour?? And why would APC admit every Tom, D*ck and Harry into their party?? Keep diluting the party and it would get to a point it becomes PDP's siamese twin!! Meanwhile, visited the Zoo today to ask about Nnamumudi, and this dude below told me he's been released. They shared a common cage. Can anyone confirmthis?? 27 Likes 1 Share
