Over 1,000 officials and members of the opposition All Progressives Congressin Abia State, yesterday defected to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party.

Some of the returnees include former Administrative Secretary of APC in the state, Chief Erondu Erondu; former Youth Leader, Vin Ume, former council chairman, women leaders among other chieftains .

Speaking when he led the decampees to the PDP secretariat in Umuhaia, an ex-APC chief, Egwuatu Egbulefu, noted that the in-fighting, deceit, and undemocratic manner in which APC is run leaves much to be desired, hence their decision to return to PDP.

He said,We unfortunately allowed ourselves to believe that we were working with progressives who had good plans and provisions for the people, but little did we know that we had joined a bandwagon of aggrieved politicians looking for a common platform to unburden their grief and self over-estimation.

He described APC as a party of sad, aggrieved and selfish persons who competed to outdo and undo each other, adding that going by the level of mischief appropriated by the leadership of APC it will be sinful for progressives to stay back with them in order to always lie against government to gain self recognition and pride.

The former APC chief pledged on behalf of other decampees, their loyalty to the leadership of PDP while appealing to others still wasting their useful time in APC to return home because PDP is better now than we left it.

He however, pleaded that waiver be granted to the returnees wishing to vie for any elective position in the 2015 polls, as well as fixing some of them with wealth of experiences to deserving positions in the PDP hierarchy.
