Anambra 2021: Gov Obiano’s aide dumps APGA for PDP
Ahead of Saturday’s Anambra governorship election, a Special Adviser to Gov. Willie Obiano, Chief Tommy Okoli, has defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Okoli, a former governorship aspirant under the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), announced his defection at a rally on Thursday in Ukpor, Nnewi South Local Government Area of the state.
He said he was supporting the candidature of Mr. Valentine Ozigbo and his running mate, Mrs. Azuka Enemo of the PDP, in the election.
According to him, he is throwing his weight behind Ozigbo, having x-rayed all the candidates and finding PDP most qualified for the task of “redeeming” Anambra.
Okoli said he had consulted the people of his constituency widely and they supported his decision to join the PDP.
“I have decided to endorse the ticket of PDP with Mr. Valentine Ozigbo and Azuka Enemuo as governorship candidate and running mate respectively to win the Nov. 6 election in Anambra State.
“I will use all the resources, contacts, and enormous goodwill available to me to support their ticket.
