PDP chieftain, supporters, join APC, says PDP dead
A chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and former Commissioner for Culture and Tourism in Enugu State, Joe Mmamel, on Saturday defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mr. Mmamel completed his defection to the APC when he registered in Agu Obowa Ward II in Ezeagu Local Government Area of the state.
He was received by his ward Chairman of the party, Chidozie Uchenna; state Chairman, Ben Nwoye; National Vice Chairman (South-East), Emma Enukwu and former governor of the state, Sullivan Chime.
Mr. Mmamel said his decision to join APC was to attract visible development to his local government and the state.
The defector, who was the first chairman of Ezeagu Local Government Area, said communities in the state were in dire need of infrastructural uplift.
He said that it would be counter-productive for Enugu, which had always been at the limelight, to remain in a “dead” party like the PDP.
“It is sad that the PDP is dead. Therefore, we need to align ourselves to a political party that will bring visible development to our people.
“We are going to a political party that will receive and help us to realise our dreams,” he said.
