Among the prominent defectors are former two-term House of Representatives member Hon. Livunus Makwe, former two-term House of Assembly member Hon. Oliver Osi, and Aja Nwabueze, the former deputy governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections.

Their decision to join the APC was primarily driven by their admiration for Governor Nwifuru’s leadership and the perceived unity within the party. They also cited dissatisfaction with the PDP’s abandonment of zoning during the 2023 elections as a factor influencing their departure.

Welcoming the new members, APC state chairman Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha emphasized the party’s inclusive nature and urged existing members not to view the defectors as rivals but as contributors to the party’s growth. He emphasized the importance of competition in bringing out the best in everyone and expressed confidence that with these new additions, the APC would maintain dominance in Ivo LGA.

The defection signals a significant shift in Ebonyi State’s political landscape, as Anyim’s supporters and other politicians align themselves with the ruling party, underlining the APC’s growing influence in the region.
