Three days to the Governorship/State Assembly Election, an All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA chieftain, Hon. Emeka Okafor Wednesday, collapsed his structure into the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the state.
Emeka Okafor before now, was in PDP and later decamped to Progressive Peoples Alliance, PPA and later back to the PDP.
He later abandoned the PDP for APGA where he later became the pioneer Director General of the campaign structure of the APGA governorship candidate, Prof. Greg Ibeh.
Hon. Okafor who was also a one-time state chairman, Inter-Party Advisory Council, IPAC in Abia State, later became the chairman, APGA Elders Advisory Council in the state before the collapse of his structure, Abia Crusaders Foundation into the PDP.
Speaking while handing over the structure, Hon. Okafor said he collapsed his structure into the party “to identify with the PDP, the ruling party”.
“We have been watching, but the most important thing is getting someone to work for the state and make it better”, he further stated, adding that the PDP guber candidate, Okey Ahiwe has all it takes to government the state.
According to him, “We don’t want a story teller. Abia State is not supposed to be lagging behind and I believe that Ahiwe will give Abia what it lacks.
Responding, the PDP state chairman, Rt. Hon. Allwell Asiforo Okere noted that the PDP is the party to beat in the Saturday guber election in Abia.
He assured them of fair treatment, promising that if they deliver PDP in the guber election, that they will be qualified to contest in the forthcoming local government election in the state.
In his speech, the PDP Abia Campaign Council Director General, Rt. Hon. Chinedum Elechi thanked members of the structure for following and listening to their DG, Emeka Okafor, stating, “The decision you made is correct and he will not lead you astray”.
