A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC and former commissioner for information in Ebonyi State Chief Abia Onyike has dumped APC to PDP.
Chief Onyike's defection from APC to PDP was contained in a statement titled "Why I am going back to PDP" which was made available to Newsmen in Abakaliki.
The statement reads in part:
"After a critical review of the current political scenerio in Ebonyi State, especially since November. 19, 2020, when Gov. David Umahi decamped from PDP to APC, I, Abia Onyike have decided to return back to the People's Democratic Party(PDP). My decision to return to PDP is based on the following reasons:
" That Gov. David Umahi is not prepared to turn a new leaf in his dictatorial, totalitarian and autocratic leadership style in the governance of Ebonyi state-a situation that has unleashed mass poverty and mass impoverishment on Ebonyi citizenry".
"Umahi's government is far from being a democracy. "It is a self-serving anarchist banditry", apologies to Dr. Chidi Osuagwu who used the term to describe the excesses of anti-democratic charlatans in our midst".
"Gov. Umahi wants to continue in his usual government of anarchy. through which instability , violence and lawlessness are exacerbated in the governance of the state".
"Gov. Umahi sees public office not as an instrument for the provision of welfare for the citizenry, but as a platform for personal and family agrandisement. He runs an anti-peoples government and has by so doing declared himself the enemy of the people. He is self-willed, self-opinionated, self-serving, self-centered and selfish".
" I am convinced that those who make up the PDP in the state now are tested leaders and like-minded Patriots who are committed to the genuine development of Ebonyi state, hence my decision to identify with them at this critical moment".
"The PDP in Ebonyi state must be used as a liberation movement to rescue Ebonyians from the stranglehold of Gov. Umahi, whose inordinate ambition is to hand over power to his proxy with his son as the next Speaker of Ebonyi State House of Assembly, come 2023".
