A former presidential Aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Enugu State, Dr SKC Ogbonnia, has dumped the ruling party. Ogbonnia announced his resignation in a letter addressed to the APC chairman of the Owelli/Amoli/Ugbo/Ogugu ward in Awgu Local Government Area, Enugu State, on Tuesday. In recent months, the Nigerian political space has witnessed a surge in mass defections of lawmakers, governors, and other politicians who have switched allegiance from their former parties to join the ruling APC. Ogbonnia also accused President Bola Tinubu of running a failed government. This is a president who has not only failed in most critical areas of national development, but he is also irredeemable,” he added.
