A faction of All Progressive Congress led by Anslem Ojezua has exited the party, citing loss of confidence in the national leadership of the party and alleged disobedience to the party constitution.
Ojezua on Wednesday announced their intention to join the ruling Peoples Democratic Party in Edo State as part of resolution reached at an enlarged meeting of the State Executive Council of APC Committee members and the chairmen of all the local government area chapters of the party and the state leaders of the party in Benin.
The resolution, which was signed by 22 members of the executives of the party led by Ojezua and chairmen of the party across the 18 local government areas of the state, indicated that over 150,000 of their supporters had concluded plans to defect with them.
