Nwodo Speaks Out: “No Reason for Governors to Defect to APC” Amid Political Shifts

According to Okwesilieze Nwodo, a former governor of Enugu State, governors should not join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Nwodo reportedly revealed this during a Monday interview on the Morning Show on Arise Television.

Southeast state governors have no incentive to join the APC, and those who have defected have not persuaded Nigerians of their reasons, according to Nwodo.

“And many of us in this country are wondering what is the attraction for our governors in particular who are leaving their parties for the APC,” he remarked.

“We don’t see the rationale in the APC party’s structure. The performance of the APC-run central government does not reflect this.

“And people are wondering why we should be moving toward a one-party state, not because of that party’s performance or ideology, but frequently because of unexplained reasons.”

“Reasons for the governors’ relocation have not persuaded Nigerians or even residents of their individual states. However, as I mentioned, the governors have the unalienable right to relocate.

“Whether they moved for the reasons they tell us or if there are other compelling reasons.” Thus, we are unable to start addressing those.

Nwodo went on to say that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is prepared to discuss issues and policies with President Bola Tinubu and the APC.

“We in the African Democratic Congress want to engage the current president of Nigeria and his party on issues, on their policies, on the efficacy of their execution of their policies and promises to the Nigerian people, and put aside by side with the candidates that we are supporting, former governor of Anambra State Peter Obi, and the solutions he’s putting on the table for Nigerians to make a choice,” he continued.

As you can see, prominent politicians from the southeast have declared their support for the APC throughout Nigeria.
