In
line with a story published by this blog that the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) are bent on poaching political loyalists of Imo State Governor, Owelle
Rochas Okorocha, another political heavyweight in the All Progressive Congress,
APC in Imo State, Felix Idiga has left
the APC and jumped into the PDP.
Idiga,
a business mogul, is a senatorial aspirant on the APC platform before his
decampment to the PDP yesterday.
Sources
said efforts to persuade Idiga to remain in the APC proved futile.
Idiga
popularly called JAFAC, said he had to dump the APC for the PDP in order to
advance the interest of the people of Orlu Zone.
Orlu
zone is Governor Okorocha’s zone which has political heavyweights such as Senator
Hope Uzodinma and former Governor Achike Udenwa.
Udenwa
decamped to the PDP from the APC recently.

According
to Idiga, he also left the APC with over 15,000 of his supporters, noting that
there is need to keep Orlu Zone in the mainstream of politics of Nigeria.
