Defections: Political realignment not betrayal – Former Enugu Governor Chime

Former Governor of Enugu State Sullivan Chime has reacted to the defection of the state governor, Peter Mbah, to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

In a post via his social media page on Tuesday, Chime said that it was not an act of betrayal.

According to him, “political realignment is not betrayal; it is the courage to follow vision when old paths can no longer carry the dream.”

DAILY POST recalls that Chime left the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for APC shortly after the end of his second term as Governor of Enugu State in 2016.

During his defection, the former governor described PDP as a “dead party” following a leadership crisis that engulfed the party.

Also, the immediate past governor of the state, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, was among those who defected to APC.

Others included some members of the National and State assemblies, former PDP executives, local government chairmen, and members of the State Executive Council, among others.
