A Chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party and former member of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon. Samuel Eke has defected from the party to the All Progressives Congress.
Eke, who represented Etche Constituency 1 in the state Assembly in a statement yesterday, said he decided to join the APC because of the leadership quality of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi.
He also said he dumped the PDP because there is much hunger and hardship in the state, adding that his people are currently suffering and have benefitted nothing from the current administration.
It was gathered that Hon. Eke was received by the leadership of the APC in Etche and will be presented to leader of the party, any time soon.
The People’s Democratic Party in Etche is yet to react to the defection of Eke who was a stakeholder of the party.
