The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, 2023 Presidential Aspirant and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation(SGF), Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, yesterday expressed optimism that by next month, more All Progressives Congress, APC, Lawmakers will join the PDP in the State.
Anyim, who stated this while addressing members of the party during an enlarged meeting of the party in Abakaliki, noted that the party will soon take over the leadership of the current House of Assembly.
“I want to assure you, by next month many more will join these our Lawmakers and by the time they know it, we will take over Ebonyi state House of Assembly.
“Without these nine Lawmakers, you can’t get 2/3rd majority to do anything in Ebonyi House of Assembly.
He accused 15 Lawmakers of the Assembly who are members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of desperation in a bid to maintain control of the House.
The 15 APC Lawmakers had on Monday elected the member representing Afikpo North-West constituency and Deputy Leader of the House as the Assembly’s Deputy Speaker after a letter allegedly written by the Deputy Speaker, Chief Obasi Odefa revealed that he has resigned as a member of the House.
