Benue Deputy Governor, Assembly Members Set To Dump PDP by omenka(m): 9:39am On Dec 18, 2014

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.
