Adams Oshiomhole’s aide, Idubor, others move to PDP

An aide to Edo state Governor, Adams Oshiomhole,  Mr Agharese Idubor, on Wednesday led at least, 150 members of the All Progressive Congress, APC, in the state to Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. He is Oshiomhole's Executive Director on Protocol Matters. Reports has it that the defecting members of APC are from Ward 7 in the Egor Local Government Area in the south Senatorial district of Edo State.

Speaking on behalf of the defecting members, Mr Agharese Idubor said their decision to return to the PDP was borne out of the alleged political betrayal of the leadership of All Progressive Congress in the state at the ward congress in the state on Tuesday, saying that leadership positions should be attained through party's democratic election and not by imposition "as was witnessed by APC members on Tuesday.''
