(Pub. Sec. APC Enugu State)

APC, Enugu State

Speaking on why he attended the APC rally, which was outside his own constituency of Udi/Ezeagu, Umeha said it was in solidarity with his friend, Chief Ogbonna, disclosing that another rally that would officially usher him into APC would still come up in matter of days in his local government area, Ezeagu.

The lawmaker, however, announced that he had already resigned from the Labour Party and registered with APC at his Ward, even as he cited the intractable division within the ranks of his former party at the national and state levels as one of the reasons for his dumping the party for APC.

Umeha, the acclaimed first APC member to occupy elective position in the state since its inception in 2014, said his decision to join the ruling party was also, “because of the need to connect to the centre and bring our people closer because there are a lot of advantages in plugging to the center.”

He said that the APC has served the interest of Igbos better than the PDP at the federal level, citing the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, Enugu-Port-Harcourt Expressway, 2nd Nigeria Bridge, and some of the landmark projects the current ruling party has executed in Igbo land.
