The political landscape in Anambra State shifted further over the weekend as Hon. Lawrence Ezeudu, a former Minority Leader of the State House of Assembly, officially defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Ezeudu, who represented Dunukofia Constituency for eight years, led hundreds of his supporters into the ADC, citing deep-seated internal crises and a lack of visionary leadership within the state chapter of the APC as his primary reasons for leaving.
Reclaiming Anambra’s Political Future
Speaking during a ceremony in his home town, Ezeudu described his move as a strategic step to align with a platform that prioritises the people’s welfare. He argued that the APC in Anambra had become “stagnant” and was no longer a viable vehicle for delivering development to the grassroots.
“My decision to join the ADC is not just about a change of platform, but a commitment to reclaiming the political future of our state,” Ezeudu stated. He noted that the ADC’s growing momentum as a “Third Force” made it the most credible alternative for progressives in the South East.
ADC Gains Ground in the South East
The defection is seen as a major boost for the ADC in Anambra, especially as the party continues to consolidate strength following reports of Peter Obi’s involvement with the coalition. State party leaders welcomed Ezeudu, describing him as a “grassroots general” whose experience would be invaluable in the upcoming electoral cycles.
APC Reacts to the Exit
While the Anambra State APC leadership has yet to issue a formal rebuttal, party insiders suggest that Ezeudu’s exit reflects an ongoing struggle within the chapter to harmonise various factions. Critics within the party, however, dismissed the move as “standard pre-election positioning” and insisted that the APC remains a formidable force in the state.
Ezeudu’s defection mirrors a wider trend across the country, where high-profile figures—including Governor Agbu Kefas and Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso—are realigning their loyalties as the 2027 political map begins to take shape..See More
