A former governorship aspirant of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for Anambra state governorship election, Nze Akachukwu Sullivan Nwankpo, has defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).<\/p>\n
Nwankpo defected to ADC at a function in Okija, Ihiala Local Government Area of the state on Monday.<\/p>\n
He said \u2018I am committed to serving my state and my people, so I have to do what my people want me to do, they have been clamouring and urging me to join ADC and quite a few of them have gone ahead of me to join ADC and that is what they want me to do and as a leader I have to listen to their calls.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am crossing over now so that I can serve my people better. I am 100 percent committed to my country, my state and my people.<\/p>\n
“I declare unflinching support to the party both at the state and national levels. I am committed to wherever I am and I will work for the party around me,” Nwankpo said.<\/p>\n
Welcoming Nwankpo into the party, the Anambra State Chairman Comrade Patrick Obianyor, described him as big addition to the party.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith his experience in grassroots politics, the defection of Akachukwu Nwankpo will no doubt increase the winning chances of the party.<\/p>\n
\u201cNze Akachukwu Nwankpo is our pride, a good man who has positively touched lives. His defection is a welcome development and we are happy to receive him into the party. Aside politics, Nwankpo is a son of the soil in Okija and he has done very well for the people.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith his defection to the party, we will be able to work for our people and move the party forward,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
