APC sees resignations in Bauchi and potential defections in Delta State
Resignations followed APC primaries in Bauchi, while Delta State leaders anticipate a shift in legislative balance as PDP lawmakers consider joining the APC.
Resignations occurred among APC members in Bauchi State after the party's primaries, a development confirmed by multiple news outlets. According to AllAfrica, aspirants and their members left the APC in Bauchi State, citing allegations of injustice, candidate imposition and lack of internal democracy.
In Delta State, urhobotoday.com reported that Senate leader Ovie Omo‑Agege said ten Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers in the Delta State House of Assembly are set to defect to the APC. The same outlet noted that Omo‑Agege welcomed Chief Itiako Ikpokpo (aka Malik) into the APC and declared that the PDP’s dominance in Delta State was rapidly crumbling. He also said a major realignment in the power structure of the Delta State House of Assembly is looming as the ten lawmakers are set to dump PDP for APC. With seven APC lawmakers already in the House, the defection would raise the APC’s numbers to 17, potentially shifting the House’s leadership.
