Dr. Chidi O.
Ajaegbu, the former director of finance during the 2015 general election in
Abia state, has decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to All
Progressives Congress (APC). Ajaegbu in a statement said he left because the
structure of the party in the state lacked transparency, credible democracy and
was not an all-inclusive government.
After
formalising his membership at the ward level, he made it known while speaking
at Umuojima-Ogbu, Osisioma local government area, Abia state.
'Essentially,
I left PDP because my expectations were not met and as far as I am concerned,
the aspirations of the Ngwa nation have not been met by the current
administration and the reasons being given for the inability of the present
government in meeting the expectations of the people are not tenable with me. I
believe we could do a lot of things differently.
“The structure
of the party in the state doesn’t allow for credible democracy, meaning that it
is not all inclusive. If it is not all inclusive, are now delivering our
electoral promises to the people of the state? So, we need to find an
alternative towards actualizing the aspirations of the average Ngwa man and of
course, our brothers up North (people of Old Bende).”
Ajaegbu also
urged his people to join APC, so that PDP will be shown the way out in 2019.
'I am going to
reinforce the party and the essence of being in this party is to strengthen the
opposition. To get APC in government in the state in 2019, we will start now to
reflect on what PDP government is doing wrong and how to change them.'
Ajaegbu is a
former President of Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN)
