Former Imo Speaker Dumps PDP For APC, See Why

Godfrey Dikeocha, a former Speaker of Imo State House of Assembly, has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nigeria’s main opposition party for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Naija News reports that the former Imo Speaker cited President Muhammadu Buhari‘s “stellar performance” as the reason for his decision.

Speaking after defecting to the APC from the PDP, Dikeocha commended President Buhari’s anti-graft policy.

His words: “I believe in the anti-corruption principles of Mr. President, and he is fighting it no matter the pitfalls. Despite the misgiving in the Southeast, Mr. President has started doing visible projects for the region.

“Even in PDP days, we orchestrated the 2nd Niger Bridge that never took off, but today something is going on in the place, including renovation work going on in Akanu Ibiam International Airport,” he said.
