A former member of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Mr. Obinna Okenwa on Sunday defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Okenwa represented Enugu South Urban in the state assembly from 2015 to 2019 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“We have the capacity to move things and make them happen. With the support of the leadership of the APC, we shall defend the party with all our strength,” Okenwa said.

He appealed to the people of the state to take their destinies  into their hands by identifying with a progressive party.

Also, a former president of the senate, Chief Ken Nnamani, said that the APC provided the South East with a bigger picture because it currently controlled the Federal Government.

Nnamani said that the time had come for the people of the zone to fully embrace the APC.

The former senate president said that he was gratified by the peace and unity in the state chapter of the party, adding that such would provide the needed push to take over the state.

“The Caretaker Committee has a big work to do in the state as we embark on the revalidation and registration of new members. Our people should obtain their membership cards in the APC,” Nnamani said.

The prominent among those that attended the defection rally were the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama and former National Vice President, South East, Chief Emma Enukwu.

NAN reports that the APC on Jan. 25, commenced membership registration, revalidation and upgrade nationwide as part of efforts to strengthen the party in the country.  (NAN)
