A large number of defectors from various political parties, including the All Progressives Congress (APC), Labour Party (LP), New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), and Social Democratic Party (SDP), have ed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Okpokwu Local Government Area of Benue State.

The defectors blamed the ruling party for poor performance and failure to address the security situation in the state, from the federal to the state level.

Speaking at the defection event on Monday, leaders of the group, including Onah Idoko Alexander, John Adole, Engr. Adegbo Moses, Mike Ejeba, Ocheme Candidus, and Abah Ejeh, said the ruling APC has failed woefully.

They hailed Senator Abba Moro for his developmental strides across Benue South. They described him as a rare leader who has positively impacted almost every community in the district.

“We are defecting to your party from several political parties because of the quality leadership and representation you are providing in the Senate. You have touched almost every community in Benue South, and we have realized that there is no leader like you,” the defectors said.

An elated Senator Moro welcomed the new PDP , assuring them of equal rights and opportunities within the party.

He reiterated his commitment to providing effective leadership and representation for the overall good of Benue South.

The defection event, which had a carnival-like atmosphere, was attended by key political figures, including the Minority Leader of the Benue State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mike Audu, and the Okpokwu Local Government PDP Chairman, Hon. Christopher Okpabi, among other dignitaries.

With Atiku, a Fulani, being the flag bearer of PDP, I guess.
A classic example of stockholm syndrome.

Ah I know it will be in Zone C, Tiv people are done with PDP, we will move from APC soon. These politicians cannot keep us in circles

Yes Father really disappoints many of his ardent ers

Your Tiv governors have no plans and vision for Benue state. I haven't seen such style of rulership or leadership before, you won't work for your people, you won't work for Zone C. Give Zone C chance to rule you said no. Half of Tivs only knows how to use hoe and cutlasses to farm, they won't accept they don't know how to govern or rule over Benue.

I believe you are from Idoma side, give Igede chance to be senator too.... When you do that, come let's talk

He will always disappoint because Tiv are not meant to rule, they don't know anything about leadership. Lemme shock you, since the inception of Benue state, Tivs have been the one ruling, but these same people don't know anything about leadership they only know how to play politics. When it comes to Education, and even foundational education, Idoma always comes first, they are not dull or slow like their Tiv counterparts. But still yet, Una no want make them rule.

Unlike you, the Igedes have been senators before, they have held great positions in zone C. Igedes are just run away Idomas, they bear the same names and an Igede man was once the ruler of the whole Idoma kingdom. I'm sure you haven't heard of the great Ogiri Okoh, who ruled as Ochi,Idoma for long?

Benue people are confused people...... the people killing your brothers are restless and the PDP you're running to is managed by their patron.

I find your comment interesting, can you mention the names of the senators igede had produced?

Mention one senator from Igede

Benue people dey see shege, I pity for them a lot. They re really so docile

With all this things, APC will still win 2027, that we have all seen. So they should all rest.

Their headaches.

Do people still believe in this nonsense that has been going since 1999. Journalism is nothing but a propaganda machine.

It's a distraction from reality. Polical exodus has nothing to do with the state of Nigeria.

Who did the counting?

Decamping is very normal to adultrous politicians that have no ideology. Peter Obi decamped form APGA to PDP and to LP.

When PDP,LP,NNPC , 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ enter APC 🏠, Nah then we go hear (DEMOCRACY IN DANGER, ONE PARTY country and stupid rhetoric

This is just a mere Political Propaganda Orchestrated by Senator Abba Moro because he wants to go for 3rd Term. Though from the Real-Time Situation, it will be hard for Abba Moro in the coming 2027. The man has being using all sorts of lies to deceive people like David Mark used Apa State to deceive them for 20 years. Benue Workers are Happy with the Yes father who Pays Salaries to Workers and Pensioners Promptly. Some APC Bigwigs are fighting Father Alia because he refused to dash them Benue Money but Alia will still win 2027. The father is trying but he should also do Projects in Benue Zone C.

Na politics and transfer .. on election day they can still change their mind ...nothing new

I just hope the Reverend Father is not scam. His media team is not publishing any development project for us to see. Not even in NTA.
Only bad news we have been hearing from that axis

How does this stop the killings in Venue? The food basket of the nation that is gradually been emptied. These Politicians and their agents no go end well.

Even the blind can see that APC is a curse.
They have been taking this country backwards for a decade now.

Inconsequential ghost

Uncle, abeg make una give Idoma chance to rule na.

The same thing is currently happening in Kaduna and all parts of the North. Before the end of next year, no one will be left in APC except Kaduna Governor and his political appointees

Ogiri Okoh is an Otukpo man. Ajene okpabi is the igede that ruled as an ochidoma
