Nationnewslead reports that A member of the Ebonyi State House of Assembly, Chris Usulor, has said he would not be following Governor Umahi to the APC.
Usulor (Ezza South Constituency) said in a radio interview in Enugu that although the governor’s quest for the next president to come from the Southeast is justified, it can be realised in the PDP.
He said: “Our governor called us and gave us the liberty to make our choice whether to join APC or remain in PDP. There was no compulsion. It was a decision we had to take on our own without any influence.
“But the striking thing there is that the reason he adduced is something any Southeasterner should put in his heart. The marginalization of the Southeast should be key in our mind.
“The zoning of the president to the Southeast should be key in our heart. That is what he is agitating for. That is what all of us are agitating for.
“That notwithstanding, I took a stand that having been in PDP since 1999, I find it difficult to move to another party this time around.
“I think that agitation, I believe within me, will be done in PDP too.
