From Uchenna Inya, Abakaliki
The member, representing Ohaozara, Onicha and Ivo federal constituency, Ebonyi State in the House of Representatives, Nkemkanma Kama has met with the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha to apparently formalise his defection to the party.
Kama was elected into the House of Representatives under the platform of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election.
He has, however, resigned his membership of the Labour Party.
A copy of the resignation letter to the ward chairman of the party read: “I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the Labour Party for the platform given to me to contest and win the last general election as the House of Representatives member under its banner.
“The trust and support of the party leadership and members have been instrumental in our journey so far, and I will forever cherish these relationships
“After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that this step is necessary for the greater good of our people.
“My commitment to service, development and the upliftment of our constituency remains unwavering, and I believe this decision aligns with the best interests of those we serve.”
Yesterday, Kama’s pictures with Emegha after his visit to the chairman, flooded the social media, suggesting that he has fully joined the APC.
Governor Francis Nwifuru had, in December last year, during the lawmaker’s empowerment programme in his Amaeze community, Ishiagu in Ivo Local Government Area, openly urged him to join the APC.
The APC chairman in the state, Emegha and other stakeholders of the party, had also openly called on him at different fora to join the party.
