A Former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi, Mr Silas Onu has said that irreconcilable differences within the party made him defect to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Onu made the submission on Sunday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), noting that the decision was”patriotic’.
Onu, also a former senatorial candidate of the PDP in Ebonyi said that the roles of few incumbent governors in the party’s affairs have made the differences irreconcilable.
“I am, therefore, compelled to pursue my political aspirations in a different but stable platform.
“I am leaving PDP with a heavy heart as the decision didn’t come easy,” he said.
He noted that the ADC provided such stable platform and sought for support from his supporters.
“I pray that we sojourn unto the ADC to continue forging a stronger political movement.
“This will be in the overall interest of Ebonyi people,” he said.
NAN reports that Onu was a former Publicity Secretary of the PDP in Ebonyi before emerging it’s state chairman.(NAN)
