A Chieftain and factional leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, (APGA) in Abia State, Chief Reagan Ufomba, has dumped the party for the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Declaring for the PDP at the reception rally held at Ntigha mini Stadium in Isialangwa North LGA of the state, Ufomba said he is defecting for a better Abia noting that only PDP can better the lots of Abia State and Nigeria.
He added that "It is not easy for someone to be with his brother, his friend, his colleague and there seems to be a divide most especially in your party."
Ufomba who was a factional governorship candidate of the APGA in 2015 decamped to PDP with 24 executives of the party, 184 ward executives, alongside others defected to the PDP.
Displaying his former party' s membership register, Ufomba said any other existing APGA in the state is fake.
"If there is any other APGA existing in Abia after today, that APGA is fake".
He said his decision to join PDP is hinged on his desire to bring his ideas to the table in a bid to achieving the Abia of everyone's dream.
While receiving him into the PDP family, the Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu said it's a step in the right direction, noting that every good idea is welcomed by his administration.
Ikpeazu said: “I must commend my brother, Ochiagha Reagan Ufomba for this bold step. PDP is a large party and it will accommodate all of us. Nobody will discriminate against you in PDP. In PDP we love each and we see our party like a church. So I must urge you to be up and doing in the party."
Earlier, the Chairman of Isiala Ngwa North LGA, Chief Ginger Onwusibe in his opening remarks, expressed delight that the former gubernatorial candidate was returning to a house he built, describing him as a very big fish.
"Your Excellency you can see for yourself that a very big fish is coming to swim in the ocean of PDP.
“The return of Ufomba to the party will consolidates our supports and ensures that the governors re-election bid in 2019 would be achieved,” Onwusibe said.
Also speaking, the state Chairman of PDP, Chief Johnson Onuigbo, assured Ufomba that the PDP won't discriminate against him and his supporters.
