Nnamani, ex-Speaker to join APC

As the three-week registration of Enugu State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) began yesterday, former Senate President Ken Nnamani and former Enugu State House of Assembly Speaker Eugene Odo are among frontline politicians expected to join the progressives.

Although it was not clear last night when the duo would join the ruling party at the centre, sources said they would soon register to become APC members.
The sources said the window to join the progressives would remain open for them throughout the period of the registration.

Besides the two heavyweights from Enugu State, who were chieftains of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), many other top politicians are expected to dump PDP for APC during the registration.

Addressing reporters in Enugu, APC State Chairman Ben Nwoye dismissed reports the party was indisposed to receiving Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, should the lawmaker indicate interest to do so.
He said APC was open to genuine democrats and progressives in the state and Southeast.
