Founder/Proprietor of Gregory University Uturu (GUU) and Abia State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Prof. Gregory Ibe, has confessed that it was a difficult task dumping the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join APGA.

Ibe disclosed this on Tuesday, saying that the PDP failed to honour the power rotation agreement among the three zones of the state based on Abia charter of equity.

He added that he has been supporting governments for the past 24 years and had, in 2015, decided to run for the governorship position in Abia on the PDP platform until it reneged on the power rotation to Abia North from 2023.
