Bayelsa Central Senator, Benson Konbowei dumps PDP, defects to APC (Pix) by blamingthedevil(op): 6:00pm On Oct 16, 2025
NOTIFICATION OF CHANGE OF PARTY MEMBERSHIP TO ALL PRoGRESSIVES CONGRESS

Considering the unpleasant circumstances of the Peoples Democratic Party, of which I have been a member since 1998, and after consultation with my family, associates, and political leaders, have resolved to join the Governor of Bayelsa State, HE Senator Douye Diri, to resign my membership of the Party.

In coming to this decision, I have taken a deep look at the protracted leadership crisis and the division that have resulted from the competition for power within the PDP, especially at the national level. I have lost hope in the capacity of the PDP to play the role of a political party.

While I remained a member of the PDP, I contributed to the growth of the Party, held public positions on its platform, and received love and support of its members and leaders. But over time it has degenerated into an arena of multiple and longstanding court cases.

O Alex Ekwuemel O Solomon Larl The political party you built, which held lofty promise for Nigerians, has fallen into wrong hands. Lacking the principled leadership of those founders, the PDP has become characterised by internal power struggles, irreconcilable conflict and disarray. And there is no one to resolve these problems.

I am therefore left with no option but to resign my membership of the PDP and move to the All Progressives Congress. I am grateful to the Uncommon Transformer and President of the Senate, Distinguished Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio, who has providad unconmon love, kindness and leadership in the Senate.

Ok na. It's going to be north for Atiku. South for Tinubu. Obi will be the deciding factor... If Obi joins Atiku, they win. If Obi runs on his own, Tinubu wins

Atiku win which North? You guys are always funny. Atiku is not liked nor popular like Buhari in the North, even if he wins more states than Tinubu in the North, it will be by the slimmest margin. But he's not even winning the North either with Obi or not.

As long as Tinubu is hale and hearty, he's your president till 2031.

I'm still waiting on my N21,500 from APC for all this work I dey do for NL....make them hurry up and pay oh....I never chop since last week... grin

Let Atiku, Obi, El-rufai, Aregbesola, Amaechi, Pat Utomi, Charley boy, Oby Ezekwesili, Aisha Yesufu all be on the same ticket, Tinubu will still mess them up. Can't you see the handwriting on the wall? Or y'all just like to live in denial?

Someone should check on Goodluck Jonathan, he is our brother, but these recent everyday news of cross carpeting is becoming too much for him to bear considering the fact that David Mark and Jerry Gana have promised him that he is the next President.

We no even hear anything from Rotimi Amaechi, El-Rufai and Rauf Aregbesola.

Defection will never solve the nation's present economic crisis. You people are just using this defection to mislead the masses. Come on, you guys can do better. All of you that are defecting now, are they not the same PDP members of old! Abeg, we are going through a lot right to thing we will pay attention to your flimsy political practices.

Nigerians should just conclude and let Tinubu have his 2nd term and let INEC not bother to conduct presidential elections bcoz we all know the outcome already.

The cost of conducting presidential elections is huge and the money can be channel towards Educational development of our basic education system.

Mad, how pls?

They have the right to go any party its a freedom of choice we called that under democracy so allow them to exercise their freedom.

PDP first started ADC Coalition by maliciously ganging up but so unfortunate now its APC who is now doing coalition I mean healthy and beautiful coalition. Such is life.
