A former governorship aspirant in Anambra State, Nze Akachukwu Sullivan Nwankpo, has dumped the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
His defection followed the emergence of Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo as the APGA flag-bearer for the upcoming Anambra governorship election.
Speaking to the newsmen about the development at Okija yesterday, Nwankpo said:
“I am committed to serving my state and my people, so I have to do what my people want me to do.
“They have been clamouring and urging me to join ADC.
“Quite a few of them have gone ahead of me to join ADC and that is what they want me to do and as a leader I have to listen to their calls.”
“I am crossing over now so that I can serve my people better. I am 100 percent committed to my country, my state and my people,” he stated.
He declared unflinching support to the party both at the state and national levels, saying:
“I am committed to wherever I am and I will work for the party around me.”
