A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Enugu State, and the governorship candidate of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria in the 2011 election, Mr. Valentine Nnadozie, has defected to the Peoples Democratic Party along with his supporters.

A statement from the Office of the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor said Nnadozie announced his defection to the PDP during a solidarity visit with his followers to Governor Sullivan Chime at the Government House.

According to the statement, Nnadozie said the decision to join the PDP was influenced by the achievements of the party in Enugu State and also at the federal level.

Nnadozie, during the solidarity visit, told Chime and the leaders of the PDP in the state that he was coming to the party with over eighty percent of the more than 300,000 registered members of the APC in Enugu State.

Nnadozie, who was a member of the PDP before moving to the defunct ACN to contest the 2011 governorship election, pleaded with Chime and the leaders of the PDP to re-admit him and his supporters as lost sheep into the fold.

We have come sir, to ask you and PDP to kindly re-admit your lost sheep into the PDP family, having gone to the wilderness over these years.

We have come to identify with you and the transformation agenda ofPresident Jonathan and the giant strides of your administration in Enugu State.

We have come to pledge our loyalty to you and the PDP, he said.

Nnadozie explained that his sojourn in the APC had deprived him of the platform to talk for his people, as, according to him, the opposition partys ideologies negated his own political philosophy.

We have come to work together with you and PDP to move our dear Enugu State forward and to the next level, he told Chime.
