Ikedi Ohakim, former governor of Imo state, has joined the
All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ohakim is a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) in Imo. He defected to the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) in 2006.
An event was held to welcome him to the APC at Okohia, his
hometown, in Isiala Mbano LGA of Imo on Tuesday.
The former governor said his decision is in response to the
appeal of his supporters, adding that he had joined the party at the ward level
“many months ago”.
“Given my commitment to the best decisions that would be
most beneficial to the people and desirous of the need to quickly join hands
with my friend, Uzodimma, and other leaders of the party in Imo, south-east and
Nigeria to build a formidable political party headed by individuals that share
the same values and ideals with me, I, Ikedi Ohakim, and my supporters and
associates decided to join the APC,” he said.
“This decision is in response to the pleadings of my
admirers and the touching request by the leadership of APC in Imo. What I am
doing today, therefore, is to publicly endorse an action I took at my ward
level many months ago.
Ohakim said Hope Uzodimma, Imo governor, is determined to
change the lives of the people of the state.
“I find in governor Uzodimma a man, who is determined to set
enviable records that would change the lives and fortunes of the people and the
state at the end of the day,” he said.
