Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Chief Uche Nnaji yesterday led other party leaders to receive no less than 5000 defectors into the Enugu State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

A significant political rally held in Aku town, Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State witnessed the defection of over 5,000 members from the Labour Party (LP), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) into the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Chief Uche Nnaji, led the charge alongside APC State Chairman Chief Ugochukwu Agballah; Hon. Sunday Umeha, member representing Udi-Ezeagu Federal Constituency; Director-General of the Raw Materials Research and Development Council, Prof. Nnanyelugo Ike Muonso; and other prominent APC figures.

Speaking at the event, Nnaji described the wave of defections as a clear sign that Enugu residents are beginning to recognise and appreciate the federal projects being executed under President Bola Tinubu’s administration. He sharply criticised the current PDP-led state government, accusing it of mismanaging resources and imposing crippling taxes on ordinary citizens.

“Enugu today faces severe economic hardship,” he said. “It is now the second most expensive city in Nigeria, despite being a civil service hub. This is due to excessive taxation under Governor Peter Mbah’s watch. Even petty hawkers selling sachet water pay as much as ₦500 daily, amounting to over ₦100,000 yearly.”

He lamented that despite such revenue, the state lacked free education, adequate healthcare, and vital infrastructure. Nnaji pledged increased federal infrastructure and youth employment opportunities, especially in areas supporting the APC.

He also commended former APGA House of Assembly candidate Engr. Celestine Attah for leading the wave of defectors from LP, PDP, and APGA into the APC, affirming that the party is now fully repositioned to win the 2027 governorship race in Enugu.

According to Nnaji, “APC in Enugu was once a commercial vehicle for personal gains, but those mercantile actors have been rooted out. We now have a focused, revitalised party ready to deliver.”

APC State Chairman Chief Agballah praised President Tinubu for ongoing projects like the reconstruction and dualisation of the Ninth Mile–Opi–Makurdi road. He recalled how Igbo-Etiti remained neglected for 26 years under PDP leadership, only to receive development now from a president they never supported.

“Enugu used to lead the Southeast but now lags behind due to PDP’s long-standing misrule,” Agballah said. “We want competitive democracy where leadership is accountable. We will restore the dreams of Wawa land’s founding fathers.”

Hon. Sunday Umeha, representing the APC House of Representatives caucus, confidently declared that the party would take over Enugu’s Lion Building in 2027. “With the visionary leadership of Uche Nnaji, we are on course to fully connect Enugu to the federal centre.”

Engr. Celestine Attah, speaking for the defectors, said they were moved by President Tinubu’s inclusive appointments and infrastructure investments in Enugu. “Today marks the beginning of APC’s takeover of Enugu in 2027,” he said.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
