(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Mr Basil Ejidike, Anambra State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has described the claims of defection of 20,000 APC members to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) as laughable.

Ejidike punctured the defection claims, saying it is simply the cry of a drowning man in an ocean.

He stated in an interview in Awka, that no single APC member (either the youths, male or female) defected to APGA during its party flag bearer’s rally campaign on Saturday, Sept. 25, as reported on social media.

“The spokeperson of the party recently said that APGA’s crisis was caused by APC, how can it turn around to say that 20,000 APC members defected to APGA.

“The party has been overwhelmed by its own internal problems which cannot be redeemed. They are licking their wound of losing 6 major law maker of its members to APC.

“APGA is seriously sharing money to sustain their remaining law makers, sharing meager resources to the electorate to confuse having failed the state.

“APGA failed to tell Anambra people what they have to do differently to better the lots of the citizens instead they are calling APC names, give us your manifestos, leave APC alone,” he said.

Ejidike said that APC has come to mend the broken fence of the state by APGA and will on Oct. 2 declare its manifesto to the people of the state.
