2023: APC, PDP Should Zone Presidential Tickets To South East - Uzodinma

A former Commissioner for Information and Strategy in Abia, Dr. Anthony Agbazuere has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Agbazuere said on Thursday that he dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a result of impunity and imposition of candidates by the party.

He said, “There is impunity and imposition of candidates in the PDP and the only way to go is to join a progressive party.

“As a democrat, I cannot continue to remain in a party that does not respect the wish of the people.”

He claimed that the state chapter of the PDP was filled with anti democratic forces which had made it impossible for good governance to thrive in the state.

He said he was no longer a member of PDP and would soon announce his defection officially.

“I will soon address a news conference on my defection to the APC, but the fact remains that I am no longer in the PDP,” Agbazuere said.

The state APC Chairman, Mr Donatus Nwankpa confirmed that the defection.

Nwankpa said, “The process of joining a party is from the ward. I can confirm to you that Abgazuere has joined our party from the ward and I met him yesterday as a member of the APC.”
