By Jide Orintunsin, Abuja

Imo State governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma on Monday said more South-East governors from the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) are expected in the ruling All Progressives Congress in due course.

He also said the defection of Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State to the governing party is a done deal.

Addressing newsmen after a brief consultation with the Chairman of the Caretaker/ Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee, Governor Mai Mala Buni at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja said more state governors from the geo-political zone are on the waiting list to jump ship to the fold of the ruling party soon.

“Of course, I will be very glad and it will be my joy to welcome a governor and more governors, not only him, we are still talking more governors to join.”
