Why I left the ADC

The former House of Reps candidate explained that he left the ADC due to shortage of structures in the party.

“This was a decision I made after due consultation with my constituents, they all advised and encouraged me to make the bold decision of leaving the ADC, due to what they called a shortage in the party structure”

Why I didn’t join the Labour Party

Nwosu stated further that he joined the ruling APC to align with the centre and see more of his people involved in national politics.

He claimed that the ruling APC is more popular than the Labour Party (LP) in the southeast.

According to Nwosu, the impression that Labour Party is more popular is not true.

“Regardless of how the facts are bent, the ruling party APC remains the most popular party in not just the southeast but Nigeria at large. I joined the APC because I wanted to see more of our people involved in national politics. We need to align with the centre”
