Former sports minister and senator, Jim Nwobodo has asked APC members from Enugu State not to lose sleep over his recent defection from the PDP to the APC.
Nwobodo who once governed the old Anambra State, declared his membership for the APC during the meeting convened by Foreign Affairs Minister, Dr. Jeffrey Onyeama.
There’s been grumbling within the ranks of the APC in Enugu, with several members voicing their disapproval with the gate-crasher.
But Nwobodo has said he isn’t in the APC to take anyone’s place.
“Some unidentified ‘’stakeholders’’ had allegedly voiced opposition, criticism and/or objection to Chief Nwobodo’s admission into the APC. Nothing could be farther from the truth!”, Nwobodo said in a statement made available through his media aide, Mr. Nwobodo Onyekwere.
He said everyone should be concerned about repositioning the APC in Enugu State instead.
“If indeed there were any such dissenting voices at that gathering, such disgruntled person(s) ought to come into the open.
“As all neutral witnesses would bear out, the whole duration of the occasion was devoid of any untoward or unsavoury incidents.
“Chief Nwobodo has left the PDP to join the APC, strictly on principle and for the good of his people.
“He hasn’t joined to take anybody’s place or lord it over anybody.
“There is no need for anybody or group already in the party to feel unsafe or threatened by his entry, as everybody’s preoccupation should be how to reposition the party in the state for greater goals and/or results,” Nwobodo said.
The statement also warned the disgruntled that the Enugu leadership of the APC would be fishing them out for disciplinary measures soon enough.
”Those involved in this treachery know themselves and are also aware they have been unmasked.”
What a new entrant!
