Recall that Umeha was sacked by the tribunal butw as reinstated by the Appeal Court
Today.17th May 2025 marks a significant day in the growth of our great party APC as the leadership of APC Enugu State led by Chief Uche Geoffrey Nnaji under the capacity chairmanship of Ugochukwu Agballah received Chief Joshua Ogbonna ( former Igboeze south LP LG chairmanship candidate in the Last ENSIEC election) and over 1,000 other new who decamped from Labour party into APC.

Chief Ogbonna (Father Father ) led the entire labour party executives and from Igbo-eze South local government area of Enugu state into the APC, largest political party in Africa.

Hon Cyracus Sunday Umeha, the Honorable member representing Udi/Ezeagu federal constituency was there to welcome the decamped .

On behalf of the State working committee and stakeholders of APC Enugu state, I officially Welcome Chief Joshua and other stakeholders of LP in Igboeze LGA to the family of APC Enugu State.

To God be the glory
#enugushallriseagain
#renewedhope.

Titus O. Ezeagu
(Pub. Sec. APC Enugu State)

APC, Enugu State

Speaking on why he attended the APC rally, which was outside his own constituency of Udi/Ezeagu, Umeha said it was in solidarity with his friend, Chief Ogbonna, disclosing that another rally that would officially usher him into APC would still come up in matter of days in his local government area, Ezeagu.

The lawmaker, however, announced that he had already resigned from the Labour Party and ed with APC at his Ward, even as he cited the intractable division within the ranks of his former party at the national and state levels as one of the reasons for his dumping the party for APC.

Umeha, the acclaimed first APC member to occupy elective position in the state since its inception in 2014, said his decision to the ruling party was also, “because of the need to connect to the centre and bring our people closer because there are a lot of advantages in plugging to the center.”

He said that the APC has served the interest of Igbos better than the PDP at the federal level, citing the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, Enugu-Port-Harcourt Expressway, 2nd Nigeria Bridge, and some of the landmark projects the current ruling party has executed in Igbo land.

Even Peter Obi is already negotiating his way into APC. LP or whatever you guys call that party of confused folks is dead and buried in the cold grave.

So despite all these diatribe and tirades by ipobidients, people are not defecting to Labour Party? And on the contrary, they rather defect from the party to APC.

From the way things are going, Labour Party will soon go into extinction. E be like na wetin Peter Obi want go tidy up with Tinubu for Italy be dat.

Because from the picture below, it seems Peter Obi has been begging Fayemi to introduce him to Tinubu, which seems to be playing out right now.

You don't know politics. An order may be given to the gov to deliver him or his own chance will be at stake.

While people like Bobloco and dmerciful are wailing online, politicians elected on the platform of LP are defecting to APC daily. May we never like in vain like them. Even the Pope couldnt resist associating with Tinubu despite all the propaganda against him.

Who knows the public fund on his neck or planning to , that made him run to the party of saints , where one's sins are forgiven and forgotten....
Just go into office, steal it, grab the money and run to APC....

The best thing for politicians is defecting to APC ... 😂 😂 At least before APC will be gunned down, it will be up to 12 years more...

Court Cases and Party rebellion will affect APC 🤷

Case Study: Nasarawa State got two SDP senators because of high handedness of Abdullahi Adamu who was APC chairman

Nigeria has got the most morally bankrupt politicians in the world.

Zero integrity.

Zero ideology.

It is all about feasting. Less than 12,000 people, making a fool out of 200,000.

Anyway, best thing is to find my way into the 12,000.
