CHIME DOESN'T JOIN APC BECAUSE OF EFCC

A former governor of Enugu State, Barr. Sullivan Chime on Saturday formerly registered as a member of the All Progressive Congress, APC.

His registration came with a declaration from the national chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun that “Chime is not joining the APC because the EFCC is pursuing him.”

The registration exercise, which took place at Chime’s Udi Agbudu ward, in Udi Council Area, witnessed a mammoth crowd.

Other dignitaries at the event included Sokoto State Governor, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, members of the APC national working committee members, the Director-General of Voice of Nigeria, VON, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, among others.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chime was registered as a member of the APC in a session coordinated by the National organizing secretary of the party, Senator Osita Izunaso.

He was thereafter issued with a membership card No 0669001.

In a speech, Oyegun described the crowd as overwhelming, declaring that:

I have been to the South-East several times but this is by far the greatest crowd.

I am happy to be here today; change has totally come to Enugu State; people keep joining but for me, the South-East is special. It is special because for too long you have been deprived.
