PDP REACTS TO EDO SPEAKER'S DEFECTION.

The Edo chapter of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) has described the defection of the Speaker of the Edo House of Assembly, Blessing Agbebaku, to the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a "public secret" that has finally been confirmed. 

PDP's caretaker committee chairman, Dr. Tony Aziegbemi, in a statement on Thursday, claimed that Agbebaku had been working in the interest of APC for months, citing his refusal to reinstate PDP elected local government chairmen after their suspension as evidence of his APC allegiance.

Reassuring PDP supporters that the party is unbothered by the defection, Aziegbemi urged party members, supporters, and Edo citizens to remain united, strong, and focused, resisting distractions from those prioritizing personal gain over public service.
