The All Progressive Congress earlier today received Hon. Michael Eja, a former Federal House of Representative aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party, in Abi/Yakurr Federal Constituency and his teeming supporters in his political ward, Itigidi, Abi Local Government Area.
Hon. Michael Eja, a philanthropist and business tycoon, who stated lack of unity amongst other wrongs as his reasons for leaving the PDP, thanked the APC family for accepting him wholely and vowed to show even more strength than he did in his former party, PDP, for the growth and development of the APC.
Hon. Micheal Eja who lost the House of Representative ticket in PDP by whiskers, remains a household name across the 23 council wards of Abi/Yakurr and continues to enjoy sound and cordial relationship with his people.
