Ifeanyi Araraume Jnr, the son of Senator Ifeanyi Araraume, an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, announced on Wednesday that he has resigned from the APC and joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State.
Araraume, a former Commissioner for Commerce, Industry, and Tourism in Governor Rochas Okorocha’s administration, made the remarks while answering questions from newsmen shortly after a local government emergency meeting at the PDP State Headquarters in Owerri, Imo state.
Ararume promised to support party leaders in their efforts to achieve the PDP’s victory in the 2023 election.
He said,” Yesterday, I officially joined PDP in my ward and today I proceeded to the LGA.
“Today, I officially joined the PDP in my Ward. In everything I have done, I have tried my best never to be found wanting. I hope it remains so in this new journey.
“My joining PDP was my choice and I believe I’m coming to add value. By the grace of God, we will all work hard for the party to be victorious.
I will do my best to elevate the party in Isiala Mbano and the state.
On his dads, Senator Ararume’s defection to PDP soon,” he said
I can not speak for him. He is a very experienced politician but the treatment he got from the APC was most unfortunate.
When asked about the unfair treatment meted on his father by the leadership of the party, he said some of the positions that came especially the NNPC position would have impacted the state in terms of employment.
