The defectors were led by Sen. Francis Alimikhena representing Edo North senatorial district at the Senate.

They said they were leaving the APC as a result of alleged injustice against the senator, who was denied a return ticket to the Upper Chamber, losing to former governor Adams Oshiomole.

At the reception in Benin, Shaibu said he was elated to reunite with the people, with whom he had shared political journey in the past.

The deputy governor said the defection was a beginning of a movement that would sweep victory for the PDP in Edo North and the state as a whole in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.

“You’re welcome to the PDP; together we will change the face of Edo North and the state in general.

“This is definitely a reunion to rescue the country. While I am very excited today, the aspect that gladdens my heart most is the invitation to Edo North to witness a tsunami of defection that will coast PDP to victory at all levels of government come 2023,” he said.

Representatives of the defectors from the six local government areas that made up the district said they wished to join Alimikhena in the PDP due to his unmatched achievements.

They said their coming to the PDP was to seek refuge and the beginning of good things in the party.

They assured that their entrant into the party had signified an end to the APC and resounding victories in the subsequent elections in the area.

APC is a dead party

See new photo of Tinubu 3 days ago

What does Tinubu APC really want at such old and fragile age
. Tinubu can't even walk

This is not good at all

What's the difference between APC and PDP?

They keep jumping up and down, I hate our politicians

Save our country, vote Peter Obi

Very good

Shame on them all.

They are very greedy and only think about their pockets.

If the tide goes against him in PDP, he”ll revert to APC or any other party.

compare how much you are buying a bag of rice during Jonathan time and amount you are buying it now then you know the difference.

garfield1 Your tiny hope in Edo is gone

Alimikhena is a clown and a shameless betrayal. Oshiomole will win the Edo north senatorial election with a landslide.

Alimikhena is even a loser before the election. I would have preferred he’s on the ballot so that his defeat will be shameful.

You are welcome the distinguished senator

Nonsense. Compare how much a bag of rice was before Abdul Salam handed over to Obasanjo in 1999 and how much it was before Jonathan left in 2015 and you'll know there's no difference between APC and PDP.

See how you and the other zombie msg are wailing on this blessed thread of someone joining the winning team.
It's obvious APC will not get 25% in Edo and will lose all NASS seats.
This defection is from Edo North their perceived stronghold.
With this, Shaibu has fully taken over as the kingpin of Edo North

In 2015 with gej contestant,buhari got 40% and even got more.either tinubu or obi wins edo,nothing for your pdp.keep wailing

Lol. PDP won Edo in 2015 and 2019. They also took back the state last year. You're here rejoicing over 40% of 2015. Even your APC's game of a Muslim deputy did not help them to not get flogged last year, talk more of a Muslim Muslim ticket. Alimikhena saw the light and where the train is moving and quickly jumped on it. It is obvious Oshiomole is on his own. He lost Captain Hosa last year so he is alone on his wild goose chase of a senatorial ticket.
PDP is waxing stronger in Edo and is primed to win all the available seats with this massive defection. Know this and embrace peace.

Alimikhena just like shuaibu were brought to political limelight by oshio.kazeem afegbua,Godwin igbinosun pdp chair in ovia north and balogun okhiwere pdp youth leader in oredo decamped to apc.pdp has two factions led by obaseki and orbih.obaseki is sponsoring candidates in labour party,he even attested to the obidience movement.edo apc is firmly in the hands of oshiomhole.a victory for tinubu or the usual 40% is sure.atiku wi take third.anyway,I know your just teasing.stay out of politics boy

The Senate of Edo North is supposed to be from Owan or at worst Akoko Edo. The Etsakos are showing excessive greediness here, and we are always loud to shout marginalisation at national stage. Nonsense.

Teasing how? Obaseki is with the Atiku camp in PDP. All this your shalaye about who brought who does not stand in the face of the political realities of Edo state. Don't forget Edo no be Lagos was last year and the main casualty was Tinubu who did a video asking the people of Edo to vote for his party.
The fact is, APC is now an anathema in Edo. You are either PDP or Labour. So as it stands, PDP is primed to win Edo while Labour will come second. Even Oshiomole's main thug Kabaka is now in PDP. Only Oshiomole is left in APC. PDP will get nothing less than 60% in Edo. Labour should get 35% while APC will get 5% . APC are 5%ters in Edo

Carry on. Decimate APC. Evil party
