Crisis in Enugu As Ex Governor Intend To Dump PDP For APC—See Detail

After singlehandedly imposing a successor in the person of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi as governor of Enugu State, Mr. Sullivan Chime finds himself seemingly stretched by the extreme politics that has been the recurring pattern in Enugu. Ever since the immediate past Governor of Enugu Sate, Mr. Sullivan Chime, indicated interest to dump the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, the political climate in the state became
charged.
Indeed, the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, at an expanded meeting of the Enugu West zonal meeting of the PDP in Awgu, penultimate weekend, said that the 2019 campaigns have begun in the state. The zone donated two buses to PDP to begin the campaigns in earnest. However, what puzzles onlookers in the state is the saying in some quarters that “Chime is not a politician,” yet his defection has generated heat in the state polity.They argue that if he was not a real politician in the sense that some maintain, why then has his defection to the APC become a torn in the flesh of some politicians in the state? It is being said that Chime defected to the APC so as to take refuge from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, probe, but Chime had since dismissed the insinuation as idle talk and lacking in merit. Chime said the PDP campaign fund being investigated by the EFCC was used for the purpose it was meant for and not embezzled by him. Once the news broke that the former governor was about to defect to the APC, his kinsmen were the first to descend on him, alleging that Chime’s eight-year rule was a wasted one which did not benefit his immediate Umuneke Udi south constituency.
Chime, however, pointed out that before he became governor, that communities in Udi south never had tarred roads, water, and electricity provisions, noting that within his administration, communities like Agbudu, Umuaga, Obinagu, Umuabi, Amokwe got tarred roads for the first time in history. Shortly after the Udi south group finished their attack on Chime, the Udi North group swopped on the former governor to tell their agonizing stories of how he undeveloped the area as governor. They also protested Chime’s attendance at APC meetings in the area and threatened to frustrate Chime’s defection. Chime, however, alleged that all the attacks on him by the people of his local government were sponsored by people who were afraid of his defection to APC.
Chime said he was at loss how people forgot so easily in order to score political points. He recalled that the two groups in Udi local government that attacked him were among different groups in the state that made tents in his country home at Udi, and for some time refused to leave in solidarity with him at the end of his administration, only two years ago. On the day of Chime’s defection, the old town of Udi was filled to the brim and overwhelmed by the presence of people from Enugu state and beyond. The delegation was led by the National Chairman of APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State, National Organizing Secretary of APC, Senator Osita Izunaso, National Vice Chairman of APC for South East, Chief Emma Enukwu and former Speaker of Enugu State House of Assembly Hon Eugene Odoh
