Edo Assembly Speaker, two others dispose of PDP for APC

Speaker of the Edo State Assembly, Mr. Blessing Agbebaku, on Tuesday, turned to the Congress of All Progressive (APC) from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Agbebaku, who was elected as Chair of the Assembly on June 16, 2023, quoted the initiative to develop the constituent governor of the Governor on Okpebholo as his main reason to leave PDP.

The speaker joined APC with other PDP members, including Yekini Idiaye from Akoko-Edo 1 and Fada Sunday Igbiremonlen, who represented Esan Central in the Assembly.

Development brought the number of members of the APC parliament in the state to 18 while PDP had six.

APC National Chair, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and the National Party Secretary, Ajibola Bashiru, welcomed the members at the National Secretariat of the Party in Abuja.

Bashiru, who spoke to the members, promised justice and equal treatment in the party.

He described the defect as an important milestone for APC consolidation efforts throughout EDO, said the party was now stronger and more united.

The APC secretary praised the Governor of Okpebholo for a good government, especially his commitment to the welfare and infrastructure of workers in the state.
