Obi’s defection to PDP has vindicated me – Ngige

Former governor of Anambra State and Senator represent­ing Anambra Cen­tral, Dr. Chris Ngige, yes­terday said the defection of his successor, Chief Peter Obi, from All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has vindicat­ed his long time statement that the former governor was only doing business with APGA. Ngige, who spoke to newsmen in Awka recalled that on several occasions he (Ngige) had said that those leading APGA were traders and were there to trade with the party.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) leader in the South-East said, “I have always said that those in APGA leadership are trad­ers and they are there to trade with the party. “All the bogey of ACN being Yoruba party and APGA be­ing an Igbo party has been laid to rest. The bottom has been knocked off by sudden and instantaneous defection of Obi to PDP. I wish him luck.”
