Obinna Nwosu, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State.
The 2023 House of Representatives candidate for the Ikwuano/Umuahia federal constituency announced his decision in a statement released on Wednesday in Umuahia, the state capital.
The prominent figure from Abia expressed his intention to align with the APC in order to back the government and play a role in the nation’s progress.
He stated: “Today, I officially joined the All Progressives Congress at the ward level. Our country, Nigeria, is going through a transition phase, and to unlock the next chapter, which will bring prosperity to the nation, citizens have to make a deliberate effort to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration.
“I am joining the APC to support the government and contribute to the development of our dear country.
“I want to thank all my supporters from Abia State who have followed me on this journey.
“I hope this epoch event will encourage more young Abians, indeed Igbo youths from the southeast, to start aligning with national politics.”
