The Ebeano political family has joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) as announced by its Chairman, Chief Emmanuel Okwor.
It is believed former Governor of Enugu State, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani, is the brain behind the group.
On March 18, he lost his senatorial election to the Labour Party (LP) candidate, Kelvin Chukwu. On March 20, he resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Okwor, in a statement on Tuesday, said the alliance with APC was to consolidate the partnership with President-elect, Senator Bola Tinubu to achieve good governance in the country.
He said members of the family across the country had been consulted and were in agreement with the alliance in the interest of the people.
The Ebeano chieftain stated that the interest and welfare of the group would be better served under the APC structure in the country.
The family, established since 1999 had remained the dominant political force in Enugu State.
The group had consistently produced Governors, Senators, members of House of Representatives, Houses of Assembly members, Ministers as well as Local Government Councils’ officials in the state.
