Title: Onyebuchi Ememanka's Shocking About-Face: A New Chapter for Abia's Political Landscape
Spokesperson Ememanka Expresses Alignment with Otti, Departs from PDP Camp
In an unexpected twist, Onyebuchi Ememanka, former Chief Press Secretary to ex-Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, has announced his shift in allegiance, joining forces with current Governor Alex Otti and the Labour Party (LP). This bombshell revelation sent tremors through the political arena of Abia State.
Ememanka took to his Facebook handle on the 11th of May to announce his departure from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), expressing his support for Otti in no uncertain terms. His decision, he said, was the fruit of extensive meetings, consultations, and personal meditation.
"When a man's got to make a choice, even when the options are rough, that's the epitome of bravery.
"I've chosen Abia first and her sustainable development, above all other priorities.
"I've chosen Otti. I've chosen Labour Party," Ememanka declared, accompanied by a snap of himself and Governor Otti. He expressed confidence in his decision, suggesting that he'd made the right call.
This turn of events might have puzzled some, given Ememanka's past criticisms of Otti. However, his latest actions hint at a growing appreciation for Otti's accomplishments, particularly his commendable work on the Port Harcourt road in Aba[1][2][3].
Ememanka's departure from the PDP also stems from his belief that the party should have reassessed its methods following their 2023 election loss, a sentiment that seems to have been overlooked[2].
As Abia State braces for the political fallout of this revelation, one thing is clear: this switch-up signals a new chapter for Abia's political landscape. Let the games begin!
