The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue state has
suffered a massive loss as no fewer than 2000 of its
members defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
on Monday, December 19.
The defectors were led by former APC stalwarts, Hon.
Demenongu Unom and Laha Dzever, Daily Post reports.
Speaking on behalf of the defectors who decided to join the
PDP in Vandekiya LGA of the state, Unom said Governor
Samuel Ortom’s regime had brought bad luck to the state.
He said they decided to dump their party for the PDP
because of Ortom’s failed leadership style.
The defectors were received by Sir Hon John Ngbede, the
PDP chairman in the state.
He welcomed them on board on behalf of the former
governor of the state, Gabriel Suswam.
According to him, the party was currently working hard to
settle their differences in order to capture power from the
APC in 2019.
Nigerian politicians are known for moving from one party to
another. A month ago, an APC chieftain, Dr Hakeem Baba-
Ahmed condemned those leaving the party.
He said instead of defecting, they should remain with APC
and help solve some of the problems they were currently
facing.
