Oshiomhole ‘tears’ Edo APC apart as members join PDP

Thousands of members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have dumped the party for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Edo State.

They were led to the PDP by Senator Francis Alimikhena, who represents the Edo North senatorial district in the National Assembly.

On Friday, the defectors explained that they left the APC to join the senator because of “injustice”.

They said the party denied Alimikhena the return ticket in favour of the former governor.

Deputy governor Philip Shaibu said he was elated to reunite with those he had shared political journeys with in the past.

“You’re welcome to the PDP, together we will change the face of Edo North and the state in general.

“The aspect that gladdens my heart most is the invitation to Edo North to witness a tsunami of defection that will coast PDP to victory at all levels in 2023,” he said.
