Nwoye believes many of the people in Anambra state are already tired in PDP, at such the best alternative is the APC, which, he says is striving to correct the mistakes of the past federal administration.
He said: “I am no longer satisfied with what is happening in PDP. I no longer have anything to do with the party and I will soon officially declare for APC. I won’t force my followers to follow me, but they are free to join me in the movement to APC because politics is a matter of choice.
