A former governor of Enugu State, Mr Sullivan Chime, says his decision to join the APC is to provide direction for upcoming politicians in Enugu State.

Chime made the announcement yesterday in Enugu while briefing newsmen on his plan to formally register as a member of the APC.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Chime had on March 16 this year, announced that he had dumped the PDP on whose platform he served as governor for eight years.

After announcing his exit from the PDP, he described the former ruling party as “dead and cremated.”

According to him, “I have now made my consultations with all ward, local government and state chairmen of the APC and the entire state executive of the party, including the national leadership.

“They have assured us that we can come in and I am excited about the prospect of joining the party.”

Chime described the APC as the only viable party with national outlook in the country.
