Owerri (Precise Post) – Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain in Imo State Victor Muruako has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Muruako, who chairs the Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC), joined the APC with his supporters in Ihiagwa community, Owerri West Local Government Area.
They were received by the party’s chairman in Owerri West, Charles Ohiri, commissioner-designate Noble Atulegwu and others.
State Deputy Chairman Ugochukwu Nzekwe also welcomed the defectors at the secretariat.
Muruako said he was leaving the PDP for the first time since he joined on June 16, 1998.
Muruako said he joined the APC because Governor Hope Uzodinma has not been discriminatory since assuming office.
He said: “Even those we worked for during the elections did not take us as serious as Governor Hope Uzodinma is doing now. It is my promise to you that we won’t use this broom to oppress people but to bring development and prosperity to our people.”
