Udeh Okoye, a former National Youth Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Sunday Udeh-Okoye, says another state in the South-east under the opposition party will soon fall to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Udeh-Okoye spoke on Tuesday, when he featured in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television monitored by DAILY POST.
This is coming after he and other party leaders in Enugu State joined governor Peter Mbah in defecting to the ruling APC on Tuesday.
According to him, APC’s growing influence in the South-East was unstoppable.
The former PDP Youth leader declined when asked which state he was referring to, stressing that the information was classified.
“Just wait and see; very soon, another state will fall in the South-East to the APC,” Okoye said.
Ude-Okoye insisted that the recent defections were not about crushing the opposition but about leadership and management failures within the PDP.
Governor Mbah was received by Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, the APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, and other APC leaders.
The South-east geopolitical zone consists of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo States.
Currently, the APC governs Imo, Ebonyi, and Enugu States, while Anambra remains under the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, and Abia under the Labour Party.
