According to him, the decision to defect was reached unanimously by the party’s leaders and stakeholders, emphasizing the importance of this move for the overall development of the state.

Speaking further, he said a” significant announcement” concerning the PDP’s transition to the APC will be made by Monday.

In addition, Senator James Manager, who is serving his fifth term in the Senate, clarified that consultations had been ongoing, which led to the defection.

He emphasized that the change was due to “the state of politics in the PDP,” pointing out that the decision was reached collectively rather than being an individual choice.
