Ebonyi APGA: Members of APC, PDP decamp
The State Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Chief Ricky Okorouka El-Steven, says over 2000 members from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and the All Progressives Congress, APC, have decamped to the APGA in Ebonyi State.
During a press conference in Abakaliki, El-Steven added that APGA had begun intensive mobilisation at both the State and grassroots levels to ensure the party takes over the seat of power in the 2023 general election.
He said, “The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) is now the most widely accepted Political Party in the entire south-east geo-political zone; that orchestrated the recent defection of stakeholders and leaders of both APC and PDP to APGA in Ebonyi State.
“Firstly, let me seize this opportunity to inform you all that APGA Ebonyi State Chapter is getting set to take Ebonyi State to greater height come 2023 as 1500 PDP members and 700 APC members have so far decamped to APGA in the State.”
Okorouka added that the party’s door was still open to receive more decampees from other political parties ahead of the 2023 general election.
“Our door is still very wide open to receive more people into our great party, the APGA. We urge those admiring APGA to join now and partake in the success story ahead.
“Let me advise and emphasise that those who want to join us should come straight to the APGA leadership in Ebonyi State instead of going through the back door. APGA differs from other political parties; we are known for uniqueness, discipline, integrity, due process and good governance.
“Our leadership in Ebonyi State is ready to welcome anyone who wants to join APGA. Our doors are open to welcome intending members at all times, but we will tolerate no one who tries to join APGA from the back door.
“Intending members should join us as we assure them of an all-inclusive leadership; we remain committed to carrying every member of our party along.
“Finally, we call on Ebonyians who have not gotten their PVCs to ensure they get registered in the ongoing continuous voter’s registration exercise to determine who gets what come 2023.
“Understand that our PVCs is our strength, and therefore we ought to do the right thing.”
