Imo Guber: SDP Candidate, Onyiriuka defects to PDP, Declares support for Anyanwu

• Adopts Anyanwu as Consensus Candidate

Ahead of the November 11 Governorship election, the House of Assembly candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the just concluded election, Engr. Onyiriuka Stanley Chike and over 1000 of his supporters in the Liberation Mandate have dumped the party in Ohaji Egbema local government area and joined the Peoples Democratic Party.

This is at the heels of various endorsement and adoptions of the PDP Governorship flag bearer, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu as consensus candidate in the November election by individuals, groups and political parties.

Engr Onyiriuka, popularly known as “Chyko” is widely loved and supported by the people of his constituency, which as gathered made him to give his opponents a hot chase in the last poll, adding that as the only face of SDP in the area, it thereby appeared that the party has total collapsed.

The SDP former candidate said that his reason for dumping the party was to afford him and his supporters the opportunity to join hands with Imo people to secure the state from the stranglehold of insecurity, bad governance, greed and harsh administrative policies.

Engr Onyiriuka further maintained that what Imo people need at present is the exit of APC government and the entronement of more people oriented administration, pointing out that after wide consultations across the various communities in Ohaji Egbema LGA, he was convinced that only the PDP candidate has all it takes to gaurantee that.

While affirming the total collapse of SDP in Ohaji Egbema into PDP, Engr Onyiriuka therefore enjoined anyone working against the liberation of the state to have a change of idea, insisting that November election would serve as restoration season to stop killing of innocent youths and burning of people’s houses for no reason.

Engr Onyiriuka who described APC administration as very insensitive to the plight of Imo people, further sworn to continue to mobilize well meaning Nigerians across the three geopolitical zones against the continued stay in office of the All Progressives Congress and its leaders beyond November 2023.
