Big Blow For Imo PDP As Spokesman Defects To APC
The spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State, Ogubundu Nwadike, has defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The news was confirmed by a chieftain of the APC, Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, who posted the development on his facebook page. Nwadike was not available to speak on the issue but sources confirmed that he had already tendered his resignation letter to the PDP.
However, a picture of Nwadike, the erstwhile Imo PDP spokesman with APC chieftains where he was being received by Imo APC officials was circulated.
Nwaogwugwu wrote, “I worked with Ogubundu Nwadike while I was the then Director-General of the party and it is so elating to welcome him to the party of progressives.
“I must commend Mr. Nwadike for being brave enough to throw the leaking umbrella, which has constituted herself as the number one enemy of the state, to the gutters where it truly belongs as no true patriot of Imo can continue to stand with such party has sworn to bring the state down due to a selfish interest of just one man.
“Also, no true patriot of our dear state who have seen the massive transformation of Statecraft being carried out by the Peoples Governor, Hope Uzodimma, will not have a re-think, like most of us have done, in supporting the governor and the state to move forward.
“As I have written before, more and and more are expected to come.”
The defection of Nwadike the Imo State spokesman of the PDP is one that is bound to disturb officials of his former party given their continuing attempts to re-energise the party ahead of the 2023 general election. Imo PDP officials just as their former spokesman were still mum and yet to respond to the development.
