The National Vice Chairman (Southeast) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ijeomah Arodiogbu, has announced that the party expects two opposition governors from the southeast to defect to the ruling party.
Arodiogbu declared that reports available to him indicate that the Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, and his counterpart in Abia State, Alex Otti, are set to quit the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP), respectively, and join the APC.
The APC chieftain also declared that there is no truth in the claims by the coalition-backed African Democratic Congress (ADC) that the two governors are set to be a part of the coalition.
He added that the ADC is only playing mind games by publicly declaring that the two governors are set to join them.
“The other ones that are in Labour and PDP, Enugu and Abia, we are expecting them to join our ranks, from what I hear, and I don’t think they have any positive discussion with ADC,” he said.
Arodiogbu made the submission during an interview with TVC on Wednesday.
