A Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Enugu State, Emmanuel Okwuchukwu Nebo, has insisted that former Governor of the State, Sullivan Chime defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, to avoid being quizzed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Speaking with newsmen in Enugu, Nebo claimed that Chime may deceive some people but not all the people.
Nebo described Chime as a deceiver who couldn’t win senatorial seat when he was a sitting governor but told APC that it would win all the political seats in Enugu State come 2019.
He said, “As a sitting governor he wanted to go for senate but couldn’t make and it will be a difficult task for him because if the whole traditional rulers of his constituency have come to government house to disassociate themselves from what Chime has said, how can he make it.
“Chime defected to APC for the fear of EFCC and that statement was just to pacify those that he wanted to buy from persecuting him, that statement does not have any effect because come 2019, PDP will win all positions as you know that Enugu is PDP State.”
It will be recalled that Chime recently decamped to the APC, a situation many believed was aimed at avoiding prosecution from the anti-graft agency.
However, the National Chairman of the party dismissed the claim that Chime decamped to his party to avoid EFCC.
