There are many factors that may have influenced Chief Ojo Maduekwe’s decision to leave the PDP and join the APC. One possible reason could be dissatisfaction with the direction that the PDP is heading in.
The party has faced internal conflicts and leadership struggles in recent years, which may have led Chief Ojo Maduekwe to believe that his interests would be better served by aligning himself with the APC.
