In a post on his social media page on Tuesday, Chime stated that this move should not be seen as an act of betrayal.
He commented, “Political realignment is not betrayal; it is the courage to pursue a vision when previous paths can no longer support the dream.”
DAILY POST recalls that Chime switched from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC shortly after completing his second term as Governor of Enugu State in 2016.
At the time of his defection, the former governor referred to the PDP as a “dead party” due to a leadership crisis that had plagued the organization.
Additionally, the immediate past governor of the state, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, was among those who also joined the APC.
Other defectors included several members of the National and State Assemblies, former PDP officials, local government chairpersons, and members of the State Executive Council, among others.
