Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu, the immediate past
Minister of Health, has ditched the opposition- the
Peoples Democratic Party, in favour of the ruling party-
the All Progressives Congress.
Chukwu was said to have registered as a member of APC
at his Ugwuegu Ward in Afikpo North Local Government
Area of Ebonyi State last week Friday.
Vanguard reports that the former Minister’s registration
as a bonafide party member was witnessed by scores of
his supporters, APC members and officials.
Chukwu’s defection is said to have had the full backing,
knowledge and support of top APC leaders at the
national and state levels.
The former minister became internationally renowned in
2014 following his thorough handling of the outbreak of
the Ebola Virus Disease in Nigeria.
Chukwu is believed to have decamped from the PDP as a
result of the unfair treatment he was meted by the
party, as a governorship aspirant in the state, in 2014.
