A former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, House of Representatives member in Ebonyi State, Chief Anayo Edwin Nwonu, and a serving lawmakers in the state House of Assembly, Chikodiri Nomeh, have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
This came barely one month after Chief Lazarus Ogbee, Peter Edeh and Livinus Makwe, who were also federal lawmakers, joined the party with their loyalists. Nwonu represented Ezza North and Ishielu federal constituency of the state, while Nomeh is currently representing Ezza North West constituency in the state House of Assembly.
The politicians were received into the APC by the state chairman of the party, Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha and other stakeholders of Ezza North Local Government Area and Ebonyi Central Zone. One of stakeholders of the zone, Chief Lazarus Ogbee, who represented Ezza South/Ikwo federal constituency, described Nwonu as one of the generals of politics in the zone. He stated that the new entrants in the APC will continue to respect old members of the party but should not allow them to mislead them.
