Emperor Jarret Tenebe, the acting State Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo state, received thousands of defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Esan Central senatorial district on Sunday.
The defectors from the party includes former Governorship Aspirant, Felix Akhabue, known popularly as JOFEL, Former Speaker Edo state house of assembly, Rt. Hon. Frank Abumere Okiye, Hon. Godwin Ehigiamusoe, amongst others and thousands of their supporters.
They said they were leaving the party (PDP) as a result of Governor Godwin’s failure in governance and the imposition of his puppet which they described as a total stranger, stating that the Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Senator Monday Okpebholo is more sellable.
At the reception in Uromi, Hon. Felix Akhabue said he is happy to be back home. He further said the defection was a beginning of a movement that would sweep victory for the All Progressive party in Edo Central and the state as a whole in the forthcoming 2024 governorship elections.
They assured that their coming to the party had signified an end to PDP and resounding victories in subsequent areas in the elections.
