A member of the House of Representatives Barr. Sunday Umeha has dumped the Labour Party for the All Progressives Congress, APC.
This historic move gives APC first elective position in Enugu State since it's inception.
Umeha who represents Udi/Ezeagu federal constituency announced his defection at an event of the APC at Ibagwa Aka, Igbo-Eze South local government area of Enugu State on Saturday.
He blamed his defection on the protracted crisis rocking the Labour Party at both the National and state levels.
Umeha also said he needed to connect to the centre and bring the constituents closer because “there are a lot of advantages in plugging to the center.”
He also claimed that the APC has served the interest of Igbos better than the PDP at the federal level, citing the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway and Enugu-Port-Harcourt roads as some of the landmark projects the current ruling party has done in Igbo land.
