Nwobodo left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC on Friday, January 8, 2016.
He made the comment on Sunday, January 23, 2017, at his country home, Vanguard reports.
“The problem with Nigeria is that people did things with impunity. Though it may look difficult to be in APC in Igboland but I know what to tell my people because I have never disappointed them,” Nwobodo said.

“I never got appointment from PDP even as a founder. Looters came and drove all of us away. I belonged to a party that brought about the death of Savanna Bank but things will change for good. I have no regret joining APC because all my progressive friends are there,” he added.
