A former National Youth Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sunday Udeh-Okoye, has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) growing influence in the South-East was unstoppable, predicting that another state will soon fall under the control of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Udeh-Okoye who did not disclose the Southeast State, made the prediction on Tuesday on Channels TV’s Politics Today.
His prediction came after he and other party leaders in Enugu State joined Governor Peter Mbah in defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday.
“Just wait and see; very soon, another state will fall in the South-East to the APC,” Okoye said.
He insisted that the recent defections were not about crushing the opposition but about leadership and management failures within the PDP.
Okoye dismissed suggestions that defectors were coerced or financially induced to join the ruling party.
“How can APC threaten us?” he asked. “APC is not offering us anything other than good management.
“These managers know whom to respect, whom to obey, and who can give them victory. This decision is without any inducement, not even verbal. Forget about money, we are not poor or beggars,” he argued.
He blamed the PDP’s internal leadership crisis for the wave of defections and said the party had been poorly managed for years.
