More than 130 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have defected to the Peoples Democratic Party in Abejukolo Ward 11, in Omala Local Government Area of Kogi State.
The defection ceremony was held at Echa/Ogoh Nursery and Primary School, Abejukolo on Sunday.
A former councilor of PDP, who joined APC 2015 during the election, Hon Johnson Ataboh Ebeto said the ceremony was a homecoming for him and his supporters to ensure that PDP wins the forthcoming general elections.
During his speech, Hon Ebeto described his experience in his previous party (APC) as “harrowing.”
He said
“Now is the right time to discard such habits and choose PDP as the only option for liberation.”
In the end, Hon Salisu Akpa, the Ward 11 PDP chairman, and other PDP stakeholders urged new party members not to see themselves as joiners, instead, as legal members of PDP.
