Baring any last minute change, three Federal Lawmakers from Enugu are set to dump the ruling Peoples Democratic Party Party, PDP in the state.
The three Lawmakers that are members of the House of Representatives JOURNALIST101 learnt will be leaving to pursue their political carrier under a new platform after failing to secure the ticket of the PDP.
An impeccable source told our correspondent that the lawmaker came from the two senatorial zones in the state.
“The plans are almost completed and I can tell you that it’s going to change the political landscape of Enugu State,” an Aide to one of the lawmakers from Enugu North Senatorial Zone said.
“Its not only him that’s leaving, I can confirm to you that two others from Enugu West Senatorial zone. My Boss might be seeking for a higher office under a new platform but I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag yet because the time is almost here and he will be making the big announcement.”
On the platform the decampees will be joining, the Aide who doesn’t want his name in print because he’s not authorised to speak to the press on the matter said “your guess is as good as mine on the platform it will be. I can assure you the i has been doted and the t almost crossed on this platform.
“You are in this country and have seen the political party with the biggest momentum in the country presently, our destination won’t be far from this platform that’s unlocking a news voting demography in our country. In the coming week, expect this big political announcement in Enugu State,” the source said.
A close source to one the Lawmakers from. Enugu West Senatorial zone said “my oga will join other Labourers in the Obi’s vineyard. This will no longer be speculation in the coming days.
“My boss will most likely be contesting for the current position he’s occupying under Labour Party and I can assure you that nothing will stop him from clinching the position in February 2023.”
The source also disclosed that they’re consulting widely to get grassroot mobilizers to fly the ticket of the party in Enugu West Senatorial zone so they can stand a chance against the PDP at the polls.
He added that this move was slowed down by some factors but his Boss and others from other zones are ready to take the decision.
“Journalist101 learnt that the delay was because of the permutations to draft one of the Governorship aspirants and former deputy senate president of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu into the Governorship Race.
There are also speculations that a serving Senator will join the defectors but JOURNALIST101 couldn’t verify this as at press time.
Similarly, a former member of the House of Representatives from Enugu North Senatorial Zone who failed to pick the ticket of the PDP is tipped to be in the race too.
