Ex-Abia Governor Theodore Orji Defects from PDP to APC, Signaling Political Shift

Former Abia Governor Theodore Orji has officially left the PDP to join the APC, a move that has implications for the political landscape in Abia State. His son, Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji, had previously defected to the APC amid internal crises within the PDP.

The defection of the influential Orji family members weakens the PDP's stronghold in the state. Orji's media aide, Ifeanyi Umer, confirmed the defection but did not provide an official reason for the move.
