The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State has kicked against the return of its member, Hon Onyebuchi Offor, back to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Hon. Offer, a member representing Ekwusigo state constituency in the Anambra state House of Assembly had before the November 6, 2021 governorship election decamped to the APC, to support the party’s candidate, Senator Andy Uba.
But shortly after Senator Uba was defeated in the election, Hon Offor announced his return back to the PDP..
The publicity secretary of the APC in the State, Mr. Okelo Madukife in a statement on Monday in Awka the state capital frowned at Offor’s return to PDP, pointing that he merely joined the party to rip off its long-standing members
He said that it was not Offor’s first time to behave in that manner.
Madukife accused Offor of also allegedly making away with millions, meant for a governorship campaign for the APC, and also shortchanging members of the party.
He said the reason for his return to PDP was not acceptable.
“The reasons proffered by Orifite-born Hon. Onyebuchi Offor, and member representing Ekwusigo State Constituency of Anambra State for ‘returning to PDP’ is untenable. The unassailable truth is that whatever the outcome of the 2021 Governorship Election, APC is the most organized, stable, and reputable party in Anambra State and is today the only opposition party in the state, which Anambra-wide followership is entrenched.”
Be said, “Our party will do better when distractions like Offor, wearing the tag of ‘honorable’, like a meal ticket, even in the most dishonorable conduct learn to stay one course.”
Madukife noted that it was not Offor’s first time joining the APC to reap from a governorship candidate’s campaign funds.
“Hon. Offor is not announcing his entry into APC for the first time. In 2017, the last governorship election year before this year, Hon. Offor announced his entry in support of Ifeanyi Ubah upon the entry of the latter into APC to vie for the governorship ticket. He equally left when Ubah failed to get that in the typical manner of a political prostitute.”

“The regret is that apart from prostituting, Hon. Offor ought to have shared the goal of this year’s prostitution parade which was to storm our unsuspecting campaign (not even party), displace our committed members who could have been more useful in the election, and make away with funds running into hundreds of millions of Naira.”
“We recommend to the people of Ekwusigo to do something to stop Hon. Offor from leaning on anybody to once again rig his way to Anambra State House of Assembly, where consistently, he has traded to prevent Ekwusigo Local Government from electing their government, while pretending to be for the opposition,” he stated.
