More than 3000 supporters of former Governor of Edo State, Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor yesterday dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Iruekpen, Esan West Local Council.

The former PDP supporters tore the membership cards of the PDP and pledged to ensure the re-election of Governor Adams Oshiomhole.
This defection is coming two days after Prof. Osunbor declared support for Governor Oshiomhole’s re-election.
Former Chairman of the local council Monday Abulu said they were joining the ACN because of the way Prof. Osunbor was humiliated in the last governorship primaries of the PDP

He said Esan West local council has the highest voting population in the senatorial district and vowed to humiliate the PDP for working against the emergence of Osunbor as its gubernatorial candidate.
Governor Oshiomhole said the July 14th governorship election will be about report card.
According to him, "this election is going to be different from the past. It is about report card. When Chief Anenih comes here for campaign, ask him what he has done for Iruekpen community. We have to begin to ask questions.

"We want to build a new political system. we don’t want a political system where men are discarded as small boys, a political system where one man is educated. People must have the power to reward and to punish. If you remove the people, then democracy is empty."

Esan people have made a good choice. PDP has nothing to offer. I don't care if they join APGA, CPC, PPP etc anything but PDP where likes of IBB, OBJ and Atiku have held in a choke hold.

Let's free ourselves from the chains of underdevelopment

Political harlots.
