2027: Over 6,000 NDC members defect to PDP in Enugu

Over 6,000 members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress have defected to the Peoples Democratic Party in Enugu State. According to the Daily Post Nigeria, the defectors were led by Godwin Obasi and were received by the PDP leadership in Enugu, the state capital.

The defectors, who come from all 260 wards and 17 local government areas in the state, cited the NDC's choice of unpopular candidates for elective positions as the reason for their defection.

The PDP governorship candidate in Enugu, Chief Uche Nnaji, assured the defectors that they would be well accommodated in the party and criticised the current government in Enugu, saying it had failed in all its promises.
