PDP Collapses In Mbaise As Engr Emma Ojinere Joins APC

The political pendulum in Mbaise swung in favour of the ruling APC as a former Governorship aspirant and Chieftain of PDP from Ekwerazu in Ahiazu Mbaise dumped the factionalised PDP for APC.

Chief Engr. Emmanuel Ojinere, Aka-Ji-Ugo 1 of Mbaise, Former PDP Senatorial/ Governorship aspirant, former Bot member Imo New face Organisation and ex- Imo PDP state executive member, officially declared for APC recently at his ward Umunomo/Umuchieze Ahiazu Mbaise LGA. Present was foremost ward leader and APC Chieftain Chief P C Onuoha, ward Excos, LGA party chairman, LGA ward chairmen and party leaders.
He cited poor reward system as one of the reasons he dumped his former party.

While addressing party members at the event, Engr Ojinere traced his political history from 1998 with the PDP but lamented the party has shown consistent hatred for integrity and loyalty. Ojinere who is the CEO of an oil and gas services conglomerate said his defection in Chief PC Onuoha's house is symbolic as his sojourn into politics started 16 yrs ago in the same home. Noting that after a critical analysis and observation of the current political events and trends in the polity, going back to the leader who introduced him to the game was an easy one for him
