Senator representing Benue South Senatorial District, Abba Patrick Moro, has reaffirmed his loyalty to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) amid the wave of defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Naija News reports that the Senate Minority Leader, during a massive decamping ceremony held at the Upu Open Field in Ewulo, Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State, where members of the APC, African Democratic Congress (ADC), Labour Party (LP) and other political parties defected to the PDP, said he will remain in the opposition party.
While addressing the large crowd that gathered at the event, Moro said, “I told you from the beginning that I will not leave PDP and I will be here till tomorrow.”
Earlier, before the formal decamping ceremony, APC stakeholders from Ohimini Local Government Area, led by Adaji Elijah, paid a courtesy visit to Senator Moro and expressed their readiness to work for his victory in 2027.
Elijah accused the APC of failing to adequately protect lives and property, noting that many of them had lost confidence in the party.
He also pointed to internal divisions within the APC in Benue State as one of the reasons for their decision to join the PDP, stressing that the party in the state had become factionalised.
According to Elijah, their group aligns with the camp of former governor, George Akume, with Austin Agada recognised as the state chairman.
