The entire chapter and ward exco of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Obot Akara Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The political terrain in Akwa-Ibom has seen some mini-defections since Godswil Akpabio, a two-time former Governor of the state, crossed from the PDP to APC
Making an announcement on Twitter, APC said the defectors were received to their new party by Abom Tony Esu, Director-General of the campaign organization of Nsima Ekere, the governorship candidate of the party in the 2019 election.
