The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State has urged Chief Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii, the governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 governorship election in the state, to join the party.
Odii resigned his membership of the PDP over a week ago and has not declared for any political party.
The Chairman of APC in the state, Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha, urged him to join the party.
Emegha, in an interview with journalists in his Ekoli community, Edda Local Government Area of the state, said he had been discussing with Odii to join the APC.
“In security, there is what we call the stick and carrot approach to issues.
I have been talking with Ifeanyi; I have been calling him until he assured me that he was going to resign.

“So, where he is heading to after his resignation is what I can’t tell, but I am still working on him.
“I don’t want him to go far; let him join the APC. He loves the governor, and the governor loves him so much. They are contemporary; they are almost age mates.
“So, if Ifeanyi Odii has something to offer, he must not be governor to offer Ebonyi that thing. Let him come close and work with the governor.
“He has a good heart, too; he wants to develop the state, too. He has something in him that he also wants to deposit in the state. More importantly, he is somebody who has the heart of giving.
“Ifeanyi Odii has the heart of giving. So, I am working on him, and I believe very strongly that heaven will help me to bring him into APC,” Emegha said.
