A political storm is brewing in Edo State as four members of the state House of Assembly on Wednesday defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This is a move the PDP claims was fueled by a massive N800 million inducement.
The defecting lawmakers: Donald Okugbe (Akoko Edo Constituency II), Bright Iyamu (Orhionmwon South Constituency II), Richard Edosa (Oredo West Constituency), and Sunday Ojezele (Esan South East), were officially welcomed into the APC at the party’s secretariat in Benin. They were received by the acting state chairman, Jarret Tenebe, alongside other top party officials.
