Former Abia Speaker, Chinedum Orji Defects To APC

Rt Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji, a former Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly, has defected to the All Progressive Congress, APC.

The ex-lawmaker was issued the APC membership card by the State Chairman of the Party in Abia, Kingsley Ononogbu, on Tuesday.

Recall that Enyinnaya, the son of Theodore Orji, a former governor of Abia State had on Monday tendered his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The ex-speaker, who briefed some of his close supporters on Monday night, said the move had become very necessary, following some issues rocking the party.

“After careful consultation and personal decision, I have decided to exit the PDP. It’s time to move on with our lives,” he said.
