The Alliance For New Nigeria (ANN) on Wednesday collapsed its Ebonyi State structure into the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The party said it was joining forces with e PDP to rescue Ebonyi from what it termed bad governance and mass poverty.
National Vice Chairman of the party in the South-East, Dr. Laz Udeze, led the entire state executive committee members in Ebonyi State headed by Dr. Hilary Nwele to defect to PDP.
Udeze said that PDP has become the party of the people because those who made it unattractive in the past had left.
He announced the formal collapse of the entire ANN into PDP at Ugwulangwu in Ohaozara Local Government Area of the state during a civic reception in honour of the new state chairman of the party, Mr. Tochukwu Okorie, by the people of Ohaozara.
He commended the leaders of the party in the state for upholding the party despite intimidation and harassment.
“I am happy to announce the total collapse of the entire ANN structure in Ebonyi State into the most vibrant political party in Africa, the Peoples Democratic Party.
“I am defecting to PDP with the entire state executive of the party led by Dr. Hilary Nwele, with over 120,000 members and supporters of the party in Ebonyi State,” he said.
