Jim Nwobodo, former governor of old Anambra State, has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as he returns to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Nwobodo announced his defection during a visit by leaders of the PDP in the Southeast to his home, in Enugu.

PDP leaders who visited him said, “Why we are here is that a house you built has been vacant, we are calling on you to most respectfully step back to your house.”

Nwobodo responding to them said, “It is difficult for me to ignore their call and I cannot do that. Where will I go if I’m not with you. I’m back to PDP.

“I’m a democrat, I believe in democracy, those around Mr. President should tell him the truth,” he declared questioning some of the activities of the APC members.

Nwobodo added that an attempt to arraign the Chief Justice of Nigeria was illegal and a desecration of the judiciary and the rule of law, stressing “I will not be part of it.”

He also directed his followers and all people in the south-east to vote the PDP.
