More than 3,000 PDP members in Oredo Local Government of Edo State have defected to the ruling APC. Receiving the members, the APC National Chairman, Chief John Oyegun declared
that the PDP is dead and the APC still has room to accommodate more defectors.
Some of the top PDP members who defected to the APC include
Mr. Ebima Ogbeide, Tony Anileh, (Not Tony Anenih) Madam Goldenpenny, Pius
Izemwingie, Ikponmwonsa Usiobafoh, Mrs. Vero Aguebor, Wilfred Enabulele,
secretary ward 5, and Mr. Ebima Ogbeide.
Chief John Oyegun The chairman of the APC said the party was
still ready to accommodate as many PDP members who were interested in leaving.
“Massive development has already started in the state, and we welcome people
who have the interest of the state and are progressive minded to join to
continue with this development.
Looking at the calibre of leaders defecting, I laugh when I
see PDP boast of winning. Honestly, they are dead and buried in Edo.” Governor
Adams Oshiomhole of Edo also confirmed that the PDP was now irrelevant in the
state and it was impossible for the party to win.
He said: “The defection of Dennis Evbuomwan, the Oredo PDP
leader, marked the end of the party in the state. For me, the coming of Evbuomwan,
and other leaders of the PDP in Oredo, along with their unit leaders, means
they are here with a complete story.
The unit heads are the real people in the field. A few weeks
ago, Alhaji Abubakar Momoh led thousands of members of the Social Democratic Party
(SDP) to the PDP.
Momoh who was the senatorial candidate of SDP in the last
general election in Edo North led members and supporters to resign en-masse
from the party to join the PDP at a campaign rally held at Royal block
Courtyard at Auchi in Etsako West Local Government Area of the state.
“We decided to join the PDP because it has a candidate that
will help Edo State get out of where it is today which is not comfortable. That
candidate is a person who I believe will help to move Edo forward.”
