A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Chambalin Okechukwu Adiaso, has predicted imminent power shift in the states in the South-East geopolitical zone, especially Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra, following recent mass defection of prominent politicians from the zone to the APC.
He also stated that the on-going mass movement of eminent Igbo political leaders from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling APC was an endorsement of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Adiaso, who spoke with newsmen in Port Harcourt yesterday, said with
the recent joining of the APC by former Senate President, Senator Ken Nnamani, the floodgate of political re-alignment had been thrown open and the result would be a sweeping victory for the ruling party in the 2019 general elections.
The APC chieftain stated that the history of political alignments in the country had always favoured an affiliation of South East and Northern politicians, especially with respect to producing the president of the country.
The Abia State-born politician declared that he was not surprised, therefore, to see a mass movement of Igbos to the APC, being the ruling party at the federal level.
