Chief Bartho Igwedibia, Chairman Accord Party, Anambra, says the resignation of Mr Peter Obi from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has became a blessing in disguise for smaller parties in the state. Igwedibia, who made the assertion while briefing journalists at the state secretariat of the party on Thursday in Awka, urged Obi to join his party. According to him, the exit of Mr Peter Obi from the PDP is like a thunderbolt to his former party, but a very joyous development to smaller parties like Accord in the state. Igwedibia also used the medium to reaffirm the expulsion of one Innocent Igboekwe from the party. The Accord Party chairman warned the public against dealing with Igboekwe who, according to him, was the state vice chairman of the party before his expulsion.
