THE All Progressives Congress, APC, chairman in Kwande Local Government Area, LGA, of Benue state, Mr. Iorfa Dzoho, some of his committee members, as well as executives of the party from five council wards have resigned from the party in the gale of defections that recently hit the party in the state. They all pledged to join Chief Mimi Adzape-Orubibi in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, next Saturday at her public declaration in Adikpo, Kwande LGA Headquarters.

They made the pledge on Wednesday at the Kumakwagh Council Hall in Azaibo Adikpo where Mrs. Adzape-Orubibi tendered her letter of resignation from the party to the ward chairman, Mr. Terwase Aheeve. The Kwande APC chairman, Mr. Dzoho stated that he and some of his colleagues decided to team up with Mrs. Adzape-Orubibi because the APC had resorted to running a closed shop by excluding the majority of its members from the recent ward congress.

He said the PDP leader in the state, Governor Samuel Ortom gave him assurances that he would accommodate their interest if they joined him and that he believed the Governor because he keeps his promises. – Vanguard/Phoenixnews.
