A former Speaker of Imo State House of Assembly, Godfrey Dikeocha has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP for the All Progressives Congress.
Dikeocha hailed President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-graft policy.
The erstwhile stalwart of PDP confirmed his departure from the party at his home in Ndigbo Uvuru, Aboh Mbaise Local Government when leaders of APC visited him on Thursday.
According to him, “I believe in the anti-corruption principles of Mr. President, and he is fighting it no matter the pitfalls. Despite the misgiving in the Southeast, Mr. President has started doing visible projects for the region.
“Even in PDP days, we orchestrated the 2nd Niger Bridge that never took off, but today something is going on in the place, including renovation work going on in Akanu Ibiam International Airport.
“Southeasterners of PDP extraction were ministers and they did nothing to upgrade the airport, but the President is doing wonderful work there despite not getting votes from the region.”
