Ex-Governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu State has revealed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has come to stay in Enugu State after dumping the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the APC.

“I have now made my consultations with all ward, local government and state chairmen of the APC and the entire state executive of the party, including the national leadership. They have assured us that we can come in and I am excited about the prospect of joining the party.”

“APC is the only viable party with national outlook in the country. This is the only party that can take any politician to their destination and I pray that what happened to the PDP does not happen to APC.”

“I am moving to the APC because a lot of people are looking up to me for direction. I ended my journey in 2015 but I still have my supporters looking for guidance. I’m not joining the APC to fight anybody nor seeking for any elective position. APC had come to stay in Enugu State. I can assure you that the APC will win the state in 2019. Change has come to Enugu and it is like a movement.”

“Since I announced my exit from the PDP, I have been branded a total failure. Some people think I am nursing the ambition to go to the senate and the best thing to do is to run me down. It will be unfortunate if people re-introduce violence in the politics of the state after we worked hard to stem it. You cannot stop people from meeting simply because you are a local government chairman and they do not belong to your party.”

For those who don’t know, ex-Governor Chime had before now announced that he had dumped the PDP on whose platform he served as governor for eight years to join the winning party, All Progressives Congress (APC).
