Mass defection of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) especially aspirants that lost tickets in the just concluded primaries of the party, is looming in Benue State, LEADERSHIP has learnt.

This is even as there was serious fracas in the Benue State House of Assembly and the House session halted when a lawmaker announced his defection from the ruling PDP to the opposition APC. Many other lawmakers who had contested the PDP primaries and lost are all set to decamp to various opposition parties.

The deputy governor of the state, Chief Steven Lawani who lost the PDP governorship ticket in the primaries is also set to defect to the opposition party. Lawani is aggrieved because, according to sources, he was denied ticket to fulfill the aspirations of the Idomas to rule the state.

However, the defecting lawmaker, Mr. Baba Odeh is representing Otukpo/Akpa state constituency and had decamped to the APC because he could not win the ticket of the PDP in the just concluded primaries. Odeh is the chairman House Committee on Finance and also leader of G23, a group of all PDP lawmakers in the state.

Fracas ensued in the State House of Assembly during plenary, when the speaker, Terhile Ayua (PDP) refused to announce the defection of Odeh despite having formally written to the House over his intention to defect to another political party. The situation caused the lawmakers to trade words angrily. Source-- leadership.ng/news/395969/benue-deputy-gov-assembly-members-set-join-apc

Decamping won't add any problem to pdp cause, the indigens ar nt decamping wit the polithiefcians

I think its high time APC let dix agrieve PDP know dat our party is not a dumping ground..very soon GEJ to will decamp to apc aftr loosin next year election.

PDP's ship is fast sinking. They may lose Benue to APC come next year. Ortom recently defected to APC, Barnabas Gemade also defected to APC. Now, their Deputy Governor and some Members of the State House of Assembly are about decamping to APC. The people from the only region where GEJ relies on in the North, are fast deserting him. Pitiable.

Meanwhile, a former Deputy Governor of Benue State once contested as Councillor to represent his ward. I hail the Benue's!

They can join APC and become progressthieves.

You shall all be welcomed into a progressive party of ours.
But mind you, our party will not tolerate any form of in discipline and corruption of any kind.

APC change
CHANGE Federal.
