The All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared that the defection of all PDP lawmakers in Edo and Delta States was brave and decisive. According to Naija News, Delta PDP lawmakers in the House of Representatives switched to the ruling party during plenary on Tuesday, following the departure of former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori. Additionally, Blessing Agbebaku, the speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, and his colleagues left the PDP for the APC on Tuesday, granting the ruling party complete control of the house. The All Progressives Congress (APC) applauds the decision of six honorable members of the House of Representatives and all 22 honorable members of the House of Assembly elected on the platform of the Delta state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor, to join our great Party, said APC spokesman Felix Morka in a statement on Wednesday, claiming that the mass defection into the ruling party was caused by President Bola Tinubu’s transformational leadership. Morka assured the lawmakers that their interests would be protected.
We also welcome the Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Blessing Agbebaku and his colleagues who have also announced their decision to join the APC.
“The entrance of these leaders and their supporters into our Party attests to the transformational leadership of President Bola Tinubu, and an endorsement of the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda and its associated economic reform policies.
“We assure the incoming lawmakers of our cooperation and accommodation as they integrate fully into the APC political family.”
