An Enugu State lawmaker in the House of Representatives, Sunday Umeha, has defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Umeha, who represents Udi/Ezeagu Federal Constituency, announced his defection during a political rally of the APC at Ibagwa Aka Community in Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area of Enugu State on Saturday.
Speaking at the rally, Umeha said that his defection had become imperative owing to the protracted crises rocking LP at both the national and state levels.
According to him, the crises have made it impossible for him to effectively represent his constituents.
The lawmaker also said his decision to join the ruling APC was sequel to the need to connect to the centre and bring our people closer to power.
“There are a lot of advantages in plugging to the centre,” he remarked.
Umeha said that the APC had served the interest of Igbos better than the PDP at the federal level.
He cited the reconstruction of the Enugu-Onitsha and Enugu-Port-Harcourt Dual Carriageways as some of the landmark projects the current ruling party had done in Igbo land.
With the latest development, APC now has an elected official in Enugu State for the first time since the party’s formation over 10 years ago.
