Edo election: APC, UPP members defect to PDP

Hehehe.....Two weeks to the Edo State governorship election, hundred of members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the United Progressives Party, UPP, have defected to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.The APC members were led by a former chairman of the Butchers Association of Nigeria (BAN), Mr Sunny Omokaro, while a former Women
Leader of the UPP in the state, Mrs Patience Ehigiator, led the party’s defectors.Receiving the new members, PDP state deputy chairman, Emma Ogbomo, urged them to play their part in ensuring victory for Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu. He charged them to resist some persons going about purchasing voters’ cards.Receiving his membership card from Ogbomo, Mr Omokaro promised to galvanise support of butchers in the state for the PDP and its candidate, disclosing that he returned to the PDP “based on the fact that Ize-Iyamu has a practical blueprint that would elevate Edo”.
