Edo State Lawmaker defects from PDP to APC

Sharing is caring!

A member of the Peoples Democratic Party in the Edo State House of Assembly, Victor Edoror, representing Esan Central, on Tuesday defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, reducing the number of PDP Lawmakers in the House to four.

Mr. Edoror officially presented a letter of notice to the speaker during plenary session, and stated that his defection was brought about by the crisis rocking the PDP nationwide.

“I write to formally notify you of my decision to defect from the People’s Democratic Party to the APC in the wake of the current crisis in the PDP nationwide. My overstretched patience, coupled with the intimidating developmental strides of Gov. Adams Oshiomhole in the state, have motivated and informed my movement.

“By this, Mr. Speaker and my colleagues, I have ceased to be a member of the PDP; I am now a bonafide member of the APC,” he said.

The Speaker, Uyi Igbe, thereafter welcomed him to the party, adding that the people would always support him.
