The group, led by the PDP vice chairman and all principal officers alongside over 400 members, thanked Governor Yahaya Bello for providing medical facilities and other social amenities in Odolu-Efu Efu Oganenigwu ward.

The vice chairman, who spoke on behalf of the defectors, thanked their councillor, Nathaniel and Local Government chairman for their support, which led to the prompt intervention of the governor during the herdsmen’s attack in the area a few months back.

He told the chairman that Oganenigwu is now 100% APC, as there is no more opposition voice in the area.

Receiving the defectors, Prince Ishaq Shaibu Okolo, the chairman of Dekina Local Government Area, thanked them for the excellent decision.

He promised them equal treatment, adding that they would henceforth enjoy the same privileges as old members.

He thanked the leadership of the delegation for the courage and determination to join the APC alongside all the principal officers of PDP and over 400 members from 18 communities in Oganenigwu ward.

The chairman also informed the defectors that Alhaji Yahaya Bello is very passionate about the challenges confronting the People of Oganenigwu ward, the reason why he built the clinic at Odolu-Efu and other basic infrastructural provisions as well as security of the people over herdsmen’s attack few months back.

He urged the people to continue to remain peaceful and united, that the Ring Road from Iyale-Odolu Efu- Otutulu- Aloko Oganenigwu-Etutekpe is top priority to the Governor and that very soon it will be a thing of the past.
