We also welcome the Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Blessing Agbebaku, and his colleagues who have also announced their decision to join the APC
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has applauded the decision of six members of the House of Representatives and all 22 members of the House of Assembly elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor, to join the ruling party.
In a release issued by the APC in Abuja on Wednesday, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Barrister Felix Morka said this move into the party at the centre attests to the transformational leadership of President Bola Tinubu, and an endorsement of the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda and its associated economic reform policies.
According to Morka, “We also welcome the Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Blessing Agbebaku, and his colleagues who have also announced their decision to join the APC.
“The entrance of these leaders and their supporters into our Party attests to the transformational leadership of President Bola Tinubu, and an endorsement of the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda and its associated economic reform policies.
“We assure the incoming lawmakers of our cooperation and accommodation as they integrate fully into the APC political family”.
Recall that Delta State governor, Sheriff Oborevwori and his predecessor Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, a fortnight ago, dumped the Peoples Democratic Party to join the All Progressives Congress.
Also on Tuesday, the entire Delta State House of Assembly and six of the state’s federal lawmakers made an unprescedent move into the APC, in yet another wave of defections threatening to wipe clean the platter of the opposition PDP.
The Speaker of the House, Emomotimi Guwor, and 21 other members officially defected in a significant political realignment that has effectively turned the Delta State House of Assembly into a one-party legislature, as the remaining seven members were already elected on the APC platform.
