Over 6,000 NDC Members Join PDP in Enugu State
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) experienced a significant loss in Enugu State as over 6,000 members defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The defectors, led by Mr Godwin Obasi, were officially received by the PDP leadership in Enugu on Saturday.
Obasi cited the NDC's choice of unpopular candidates for various elective positions as the reason for their departure. He stated, "We decided that we were going to join the PDP.
It is our right and choice." The defectors represented all 260 wards and 17 local government areas in the state. Chief Uche Nnaji, the PDP governorship candidate in Enugu, assured the new members of their accommodation within the party and criticized the current government for failing to fulfill its promises, particularly regarding pension payments.
Nnaji claimed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) government had only succeeded in imposing heavy taxation without delivering tangible benefits to the citizens. Chief Basil Ani, a PDP chieftain, described the defection as a significant boost for the party.
