Former Senate leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba, who resigned from PDP on
September 17th, has formally joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ndoma-Egba, who represented Cross River Central in the
seventh Senate,
was at the APC secretariat in Cross River state today where he formally
joined the party. While speaking to some of the party chieftains,
Ndoma-Egba said
“I came to reciprocate the various courtesy calls paid to me by chapter
chairmen of the APC from the ward level to the national body of the
party and to tell you that I want to formally join the APC family.
For a long time, it was said that Cross River State
was a one party state. For a long time it was, but it is no longer
tenable today, because the action of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
created a large pool of IDPs (Internally Displaced Politicians) who
still have political life in them and must continue in politics. So the
IDPs must find a platform to carry on with their politics. As we
continue consultations with you, I want to assure you that we are aware
the party has a constitution and we must be bound by it. We want to come
to the party with values of integrity, fair competition and a level
playing ground. Fortunately PDP has given a template of what should not
be done, that impunity is not sustainable. They have had to pay a high
price for impunity. Whether they have learnt lessons from their impunity
is what I don't know," he said.
