In a significant political shift, thousands of members from the All Progressives Congress (APC), Labour Party (LP), New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), and Social Democratic Party (SDP) have defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Okpokwu Local Government Area of Benue State.
The defectors cited dissatisfaction with the ruling party’s performance, particularly its handling of security issues at both the state and federal levels.
During the defection event on Monday, key leaders of the group—including Onah Idoko Alexander, John Adole, Engr. Adegbo Moses, Mike Ejeba, Ocheme Candidus, and Abah Ejeh—criticized the APC’s leadership, describing its governance as a failure.
They commended Senator Abba Moro for his developmental strides in Benue South, stating that his leadership had positively impacted numerous communities in the district.
“We are leaving our former parties for the PDP because of the quality leadership and representation you are providing in the Senate. You have touched almost every community in Benue South, and we now see that there is no leader like you,” the defectors declared.
A visibly elated Senator Moro welcomed the new PDP members, assuring them of equal opportunities within the party. He reiterated his dedication to providing effective leadership and representation for the overall progress of Benue South.
The event, which had a carnival-like atmosphere, was attended by prominent political figures, including the Minority Leader of the Benue State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mike Audu, and the Okpokwu Local Government PDP Chairman, Hon. Christopher Okpabi, among other dignitaries.
