He said his ambition to represent the people of Khana and Gokana in the House of Representatives is now secured with the SDP.
“I have defected from the All Progressives Congress party to the Social Democratic Party where my House of Representatives ticket is firmly secured to represent the good people of Khana/ Gokana Federal Constituency in the 2023 General Election”, he said in a statement signed on Monday.
Nkee-ee who represented Khana State Constituency 2 in the 7th Rivers State Assembly, had in a resignation letter addressed to the APC Chairman in Ward 5, Khana Local Government Area last weekend, said the APC has no value for its members.
