According to the spokesperson, the defection of the deputy governor of Anambra State to our great party APC is a welcome development and that is what Anambra needs at the moment and it will contribute a lot to our state connection to the center. The victory of our party is assured.
“The defection shows that APC and Sen Andy Uba is now acceptable by the Anambrarians” He urged other political leaders in the state to follow suit, in respective of party affiliations.
