As the ruling political party is currently gaining more members from other Political parties while some of its members are also defecting to another party for the reasons best known to them, as the Chairman of All Progressives Congress in the north-central state of Benue and top chieftains including principal members of the APC in Benue resigned on Wednesday, August 4

……Among the defectors is the chairman of Kwande LGA, Iorfa Dzoho, who has already joined the PDP alongside his colleagues and some committee members and executives from about five councils have dropped their membership.

The defectors have also pledged to follow a former senatorial candidate in the state, Mimi Adzape-Orubibi, who recently defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Leader of defectors, Dzoho explained that he and the rest left the APC because it marginalised a lot of party chieftains and members, especially during the last ward congresses, adding that the leader of the PDP in the state, Samuel Ortom, has vowed to give him full inclusion and participation.


……..Meanwhile, a crisis was brewing in the APC in Zamfara state following the defection of Governor Bello Matawalle from the PDP, while a leader of the party in the state, Senator Kabir Marafa believes that the defection violates the judgment of the Supreme Court, which declared that the APC had no candidate in the 2019 governorship election in the northern state.
