Massive Defection Blow Hit PDP As Chieftain Joins APC
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has suffered a massive loss, as Cross River State Governor, Prof. Ben Ayade, has defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The defection follows a meeting between Ayade and seven Governors elected on the platform of the APC.
The meeting held on Wednesday, as the governors stormed Calabar, the Cross River State capital.
Among those that met with Ayade over dinner on Wednesday were the Governors of Imo, Ekiti, Plateau and Yobe States, Hope Uzodinma, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, Simon Lalong and Mai Mala Buni respectively.
They had arrived Calabar at about 7:30pm.
Confirming the development, Ayade’s spokesman, Christian Ita told The Eagle Online: “It is true. It just happened now.”
