Senator
Uche Ekwunife, the erstwhile senator representing Anambra Central
Senatorial District, announced on Friday that she had defected to the
All Progressives Congress.
The News Agency of Nigeria
recalls that Ekwunife, who was inaugurated as senator in June, 2015, had
her election nullified by Appeal Court in Enugu on December 6, 2015, on
grounds of irregularities.
The court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct a fresh election in the zone within 90 days.
Ekwunife, who has begun preparation for
the repeat poll confirmed her defection from the Peoples Democratic
Party to newsmen in Awka.
“It’s better now for me to join the APC.
“Let the heat be there; I am already on
campaigns for my return to the senate, to complete my contract with the
people of Anambra Central District,” she said.
Ekwunife said that her goodies for her people under the APC would soon be made public.
