Kogi guber: Ex-lawmaker defects from PDP to APC

A Former member of Kogi State House of Assembly, Hon Christopher Atule Okoche, who represented Ibaji state Constituency for 8 years on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, has defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

Hon Okoche made this known during a stakeholders’ meeting of the APC in Ibaji, where he was also introduced to other party leaders and stakeholders in the LGA.

He said his decision to join the APC was premised on the giant strides recorded by the government of APC at the federal level and in Kogi State under the leadership of Governor Yahaya Bello.

He added that after due consultation with his immediate constituent, he would announce an official date when he would publicly defect alongside all his supporters into the APC.

Okoche asserted that the PDP does not stand any chance like other opposition parties, noting that only the APC has the chance to win in the November 11 governorship polls.
