A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Ede, has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State.
Akelicious reports that Ede, a former federal lawmaker who represented Ezza North/Ishielu Federal Constituency, alongside his huge number of supporters, joined the ruling party at an event which took place at the state party secretariat in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi state capital, on Wednesday.
Ede stated that he decided to join the APC because of its people-oriented policy and pledged to assist in building a better environment for the development of the state.
Receiving the new members at his office, the state party chairman, Stanley Okoro-Emegha, expressed joy and readiness to work with them, while describing their decisions as a welcome development.
He assured them of equal treatment as the party is willing to accommodate everyone with genuine intentions, noting that the present administration is concerned with re-strategising to make the state a reference point of excellence.
