Irreconcilable differences caused my defection to ADC, says ex-Ebonyi PDP chairman
A former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ebonyi State, Silas Onu, has said irreconcilable differences within the party made him defect to the African Democratic Congress.
Mr Onu made the submission on Sunday during an interview, noting that the decision was “patriotic.’’
Mr Onu, also a former senatorial candidate of the PDP in Ebonyi State, said that the roles of few incumbent governors in the party’s affairs made the differences irreconcilable.
He said, “I am, therefore, compelled to pursue my political aspirations on a different but stable platform. I am leaving PDP with a heavy heart as the decision didn’t come easy.’’
He noted that the ADC provided such a stable platform and sought support from his supporters.
“I pray that we sojourn unto the ADC to continue forging a stronger political movement. This will be in the overall interest of Ebonyi people,” he said.
Mr Onu was a former Publicity Secretary of the PDP in Ebonyi State before emerging as its state chairman.
