Chief Obinna left PDP with teeming supporters from the grassroots in Arochukwu LGA, citing concerns of recklessness and leadership failure in the party structure which led to its woeful performance in the 2023 gubernatorial election that brought in the People’s party, Labour party.

In an interview he granted to Newsmen – he complained how sad that the PDP once referred as the good home boy of Abians has today become the street urchin for all comers that brings no value.
Chief Nwankwo cited concerns that if any Council election is conducted today, he is in doubt if anybody will want to vote for any PDP candidate.

“I have been in politics at the rural community level for a long time and I have come to discover that what the masses desire most is a conducive environment to operate and live their local lives without impediments, that is what I have observed with the leadership of Gov. Alex Otti in the Party and I consider it commendable to belong to such group of people that pays priority attention to the environment where the people can operate their businesses freely” said Chief Nwankwo.

Chief NWANKWO, A Cheftain in Abia politics was a former elected councillor for two terms, former SSA to former two PDP Governors of Abia, Chief T.A.Orji and Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, former chairman of PDP in Arochukwu LGA, all these he has given up to join the LABOUR PARTY government under the leadership of Gov Alex Otti, 

In his address for the challenges ahead in the coming election’s, He said people must see challenges as exceptional opportunities for growth and collective advancement. We must discover a common growth where all the contending interest can win, 

The second big challenge is to find practical way of supporting  the best and humble administrator Governor Alex chioma Otti to complete this assignment given by the Almighty God to him for the sake of Abians, 

The Governor is coming to the stable with a new  mission and a new growth, He is looking up to an era of sustainable development of the youth, women and rural population, He has emphasized his programs of given the state a new look and restoring the glory of Abia state through infrastructural renewal, 

In his statement, Gov Alex Chioma Otti, is quite and unassuming achiever Many often people will asked what have been the gains of Abia since Gov Otti took over the mantle of leader ship, 

Asking me what is good about my returning to LABOUR  PARTY, 

My advice, we should play decent politics, whenever you are conversing for any position bring up the issue and discuss  not human beings, All this people parading themselves as saint we know their antecedent we know how the performed in government  but we are telling them to play decent politics and not to start causing confusion by playing politics with bitterness.

Receiving the PDP Chieftain is the Arochukwu LGA Chairman of Labour Party and other members of Labour Party, Ututu Ward. Chief Obinna Nwankwo was issued a membership card automatically by the Ward Chairman, Ututu Ward in company of the LGA Chairman and in his closing remarks; Chief Obinna Nwankwo said, that experience that has made me render services meritoriously to two past governors of this state is what I am bringing to this family and more with the new zeal of leadership I have witnessed and the commitment to serve our people – this is what I am bringing to Labour Party beginning from my ward, to the Local government in Arochukwy and our God’s own state, I am glad to be here and I can tell you I feel very safe and hopeful.”
