Two Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers, Felix Afe and Tope Agbulu, have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, increasing the APC’s representation in the State House of Assembly to 24 members.
The lawmakers cited irreconcilable differences within the PDP as the reason for their departure.
Agbulu stated that his decision was influenced by consultations with constituents, community leaders, women, and youth who encouraged him to join a more viable platform.
Afe attributed his defection to deep personal reflection and extensive consultations, citing internal divisions within the PDP.
The APC caucus celebrated the defections, viewing them as a significant boost for the ruling party, which now holds 24 out of the 26 assembly seats.
