Chris Nkwonta Dumps APGA, Rejoins PDP

 

.
The flanks of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in Abia state has further been decimated with the decamping of Chief Chris Nkwonta to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Nkwonta who contested and lost the Abia South Senatorial zone elections on three occasions to current Senate Minority leader, Sen Enyinnaya Abaribe.

With the exit of Nkwonta, APGA in Abia is now bereft of a strong financier particularly in Abia South Senatorial zone and may brightened the chances of Ukwa Nation which has been angling for the Senatorial seat in the power sharing with their Ngwa brothers.

Nkwonta, a well known business mogul whose business interest spanned through oil, real estate, shipping among others,is said to have a strong supporters base in the two local governments due to his philanthropic gestures and accommodating spirit.

Arrangement are in top gear for his reception back to PDP and some of his constituents have commended his decision to return to the state ruling party where his chances of going to the Red Chamber appears brighter.
