More than 2000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and two members from Labour Party (LP) have dumped the party for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Borikyo Council ward of Ukum local Government area of Benue State.

They were led by Mr. Paul Ayati yesterday.

The defectors burnt their membership cards to show their loyalty, pledging allegiance to the APC.

Addressing the decampees, Benue state Commissioner for Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr.Tersoo Kpelai thanked Borikyo people for believing in the change agenda over the years.

He listed the achievements of Governor Samuel Ortom in his one year of being in office.

“The difference between our administration and the previous one is that the previous Government had the resources and allocations in excess, yet refused to use it judiciously but will are operating on dwindling allocations,” Kpelai said.
