According to him, these key constituents urged him to align with the PDP to prevent being marginalised by the leadership and strong members of APGA.
Ezenwune said:
“They advised me in the face of the reality and marginalisation of my constituency that I should pitch my tent with the PDP."
The lawmaker while making a case for himself said that APGA is no longer a party to be reckoned with. He said the party is currently being run by cult leaders and that whoever believes and loves democracy should not be found in APGA.
Ezenwune said:
“As a person that loves democracy, I don’t believe in such things. I believe that in a party, you have a contribution to make. But I must tell you, APGA is being run by four or five persons who take decisions for all."
Lack of development and personal growth among party members
The lawmaker said he joined the party in 2012 alongside other members to grow beyond the borders of Anambra but since then APGA has taken one step forward and 10 steps backwards.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that another member of APGA had dumped the party to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Sunday Umeoduagu was received by the governorship candidate for the APC, Andy Uba, in the former's residence after his defection.
Also, prior to leaving the party, Umeoduagu was a member of the APGA's board of trustees in the state.
In other news, a former minister for aviation and the senator representing Anambra north senatorial district has said that President Muhammadu Buhari has done well for the people of the southeast.
Senator Stella Oduah noted that she also defected from the PDP to the ruling APC party to be able to do more for her constituency.
