The gubernatorial candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Ebonyi State, Prophet Chris Adol-Awam, has defected to the ruling All Progressives
Adol-Awam made this known while addressing newsmen shortly after a meeting with party members at his residence in Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi State.
He stated that the decision to collapse the NNPP structure into the ruling APC was due to the myriad of crises rocking the party in the state. Explaining the rationale for the decision, Adol-Awam said: “Before the merger that brought together the then ACN, ANPP, CPC, and a faction of APGA to form the APC, I played a pivotal role in bringing the ACN into Ebonyi State in 2010. I had the privilege of being a gubernatorial candidate for the party in the 2011 general elections. Moreover, I sponsored all 24 House of Assembly candidates of the party in that same election and actively contributed to the merger process.
