Former secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Enugu State, Chief Donatus Udeh, has formally pitched his tent with the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) as he seeks to emerge as governor of Enugu State in 2023.
He also declared his intention to contest the governorship seat of the state under his new party yesterday at a well-attended event at the office of the party in Enugu.
Udeh, a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party recently joined APGA at his Obeagwu Ozalla ward in Nkanu West Local Government Area.
He said he joined APGA to help build a regional party that would give Ndigbo bargaining power in Nigeria noting that APGA would be the party to beat in the 2023 election in Enugu State.
"I am here today to declare my interest to run for the governorship of Enugu state under the All Progressives Grand Alliance. I didn't dump PDP but I joined APGA as a regional party to build our home. The South East is our home because charity begins at home.
"We are talking about a regional government to make Nigeria a stronger state by way of having all the regions strong. When all the regions are strong the centre will become strong.
Udeh who further reiterated his commitment to making education a priority in his administration pledged to rebuild moribund companies and to meaningfully engage youths in the state.
