The political landscape in Anambra State is buzzing with whispers following the recent defection of prominent former APGA chieftain, Mark Okoye, to the APC. Okoye, who has held various positions within past APGA administrations, had largely remained out of the spotlight until a surprising public directive from Governor Soludo.

Sources close to the matter reveal that Governor Soludo recently urged APGA members to actively campaign and vote for the APC in the upcoming elections. This declaration, initially met with mixed reactions within APGA ranks, now appears to have been a precursor to Okoye’s highly anticipated move.

Indeed, Okoye was spotted today at the APC convention, a gathering where only certified party members are granted access. He was reportedly accompanied by Mr. Okoye Chidozie Francis, who seemed to be actively introducing him to key APC figures. This swift integration has raised questions about the timing and motivations behind Okoye’s switch.

Many are now asking: If Governor Soludo’s call for APGA to support APC isn’t limited to a specific election, what implications does this hold for future polls, particularly the next gubernatorial race? Will APGA members be expected to follow the Governor’s instruction then as well, effectively turning their backs on their own party’s candidates?

The defection of Mark Okoye certainly adds another intriguing layer to Anambra’s evolving political narrative.
