Senator Obinna Ogba, a prominent figure in Ebonyi politics, has made a significant move by defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state. His decision, along with over 5,000 loyalists, marks a major shift in the political landscape of Ebonyi.
Ogba, who previously served as a two-term senator representing Ebonyi Central Senatorial district, cited the APC as a strategic and irresistible party. His defection comes on the heels of another former PDP aspirant, Obinna Nwachukwu, joining the ruling party with 2,000 loyalists just a week prior.
The event, held at Ezillo, the headquarters of Ishielu local government, saw Ogba praising Governor Francis Nwifuru for his people-centered administration, which has brought about significant improvements in the lives of Ebonyi residents. He commended the Governor for his inclusive approach to governance, working with individuals across political divides for the betterment of the state.
In a show of unity and support, Dr. Obinna Nwachukwu and APC Chairman, Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha, welcomed Senator Ogba and his supporters into the APC fold. Emegha highlighted the importance of unity in politics, emphasizing the need to work together for the progress and development of Ebonyi state.
The massive defection of prominent figures like Ogba and Nwachukwu has dealt a blow to the leading opposition party, PDP, in Ebonyi. Emegha attributed this shift to Governor Nwifuru’s outstanding performance, which has garnered widespread approval and support from the people of the state.
As the APC continues to grow in strength and numbers in Ebonyi, there is a call for more individuals with innovative ideas and a commitment to development to join the party. Emegha stressed the importance of collaboration and unity in moving the state forward, highlighting the need for all stakeholders to work together as a cohesive unit.
Governor Nwifuru’s track record of delivering tangible results for the people of Ebonyi has resonated with many, leading to a wave of support for his administration. The focus now is on building a strong, united front to ensure continued progress and prosperity for the state.
With Senator Obinna Ogba’s defection and the growing momentum of the APC in Ebonyi, the political landscape is set for a new chapter of collaboration, development, and unity towards a brighter future for the state.
