ANAMBRA 2021: DEFECTING ASPIRANTS WILL NOT BE MISSED -- PMP

The Progressive Movement for Peace (PMP)' led by Emeka Nnebedum as it's 
National Coordinator has bemoaned a fake news making the rounds on some online platforms, purporting that 12 aspirants that participated in the All Progressives Congress (APC), Anambra State, primary election for the forthcoming governorship election on  November 6th 2021 have defected and were on the verge of joining other political parties.

In a press release made avaliable to Nigerian Notch Newspaper by the group, it further stated that" the fake reports of defection comes after series of marathon meetings in the efforts to resolve disagreements between the party and aggrieved aspirants who could not make it, at the party primary election held in June 26, 2021."

Furthermore,  members of PMP, wish to state clearly and unambiguously that only three aspirants of very little or no political consequence have made such decision. They are; Chidozie Nwankwo, Ben Etiaba  and Geff Onyejegbu.
Other aspirants have chosen to remain in the party as reconciliations are still being worked out.

They also added that these aspirants rather than being assets to the party, are baggages and which any serious minded party shouldn't take into an election.

They stressed that for instance, Geff Onyejegbu has some unexplained questions in his career as a military officer after being discharged under controversial circumstances.

The group insists that It is also clear why the trio made the desperate dash out of the party given that their purported defection, which came during the deadline for the closure of substitution window of names by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

"Their intention was never about service. It has always been about what they can get from the people and APC members in their wisdom saw through that.

The group however stated that other serious aspirants and authentic members of APC in the state are with the Party.

"As a group for peace and democracy, we the members believe implicitly in the freedom of association and right to dissociate from any political party according to individual choices.
Therefore, the defecting aspirants will not be missed. The statement concluded
