Over 4, 000 All Progressives Congress (APC) members from Ika North East local government area of Delta state, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s domain, have defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The defected, led by APC chieftain, Comrade Ebenezer Obiazorkwo and seven APC ward chairmen in the council, were received by governor Okowa during PDP meeting held at Ute Okpu.
Ebenezer said the defection marked the death of their former party in the local government area, saying that the people decided to follow light and truth, represented by state governor, whom they said showed the leadership style that has brought peace, unity and development across the state.
He, along with other ward leaders, assured the state governor of their total loyalty and promised never to return to Egypt in their political journey.
The state governor while receiving them assured them that they had made the best decision and that PDP will ensure everyone was given the same treatment and operate at the same level playing ground.
The governor assured Deltans of more dividends of democracy, saying that more would be coming to them in 2018 and tasked the people to sustain their loyalty and support.
