The mass defection took place in Akwete, Ndoki in Ukwa East local government area during an empowerment programme by the member representing Ukwa East and Ukwa West Federal Constituency of the state in the House of Representatives, Hon. Chris Nkwonta.

Addressing the gathering from Ukwa East and Ukwa West Local Government areas, adorned with the APC’s iconic broom symbol, Kalu revealed that an influx of new defections to the party is imminent.

The deputy speaker said the defection was a reflection of the people’s gratitude to President Bola Tinubu who has shown commitment to Igbo people’s development, especially through the creation of the South East Development Commission (SEDC).

According to a statement Kalu said the establishment of the commission will essentially cater for the infrastructure needs of the region.
