No fewer than 1,000 members of the PDP also decamped to APC at the official flag off Dan onjeh, the senatorial candidate of the APC, Senator Dan Onjeh. Speaking on behalf of the decampees, Ameh Ebute said they wanted to be part of the gospel of change in the nation.
According to him, “you all could recall that we were part of the people that brought PDP to power but along the line, the party lost its focus. We don’t want to be identified with people who ruined the nation, hence our reason to join this change train.
“On behalf of my colleagues, we officially pledge our loyalty to President Muhammdu Buhari-led government, he added.
