Following the protracted crisis in the Anambra Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, over 1000 members have defected to the All Progressives Grand Alliance.
More than 1,000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday, August 6, jumped ship to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra.
The members took the action at the swearing-in of the newly elected members of APGA state executive committee in Awka.
One of the defectors, Uchenna Umerie, a former lawmaker in the state, said he decided to dump his party for APGA because the administration of Governor Willie Obiano was doing well.
He said that he could no longer cope with the lingering crisis in the state chapter of his former party, PDP.
