The trio of Hon. Paul Nnamchi (Enugu East/Isi Uzo), Hon. Chimobi Atu (Enugu North and South), and Hon. Cyracus Sunday Umeh ( Ezeagu/Udi) issued a joint statement in Abuja, declaring, “We welcome our brothers with joy, pride, and solidarity to the APC family.
“Your collective decision to join our great party represents courage, conviction, and a renewed spirit of unity for the progress of our dear Enugu State. Together, we are building a stronger political front dedicated to service, inclusion, and the true transformation of Enugu State.
“While we have been interacting and relating as a family under the Enugu State caucus, with all of us now in the same political party, the intimacy and bonds have been strengthened,” the statement emphasized.
They noted that this development would enhance their bargaining power, ensuring more developmental projects are attracted from the Centre to the state.
