Eze, while addressing journalists said his decision to defect along with some of his supporters to PDP was “because of the credibility of the Nsukka PDP chairmanship candidate, Chief Patrick Omeje and Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
“Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is doing a marvelous job in the state, which I can no longer resist. This is why I am crossing over to PDP with my supporters,” he said.
