“Edo LG Chairman, 8 Councillors Defect to APC”

*Edo State Politics: A New Chapter Unfolds*

In a significant development, the Chairman of Ovia South West local government area of Edo State, Edosa Enowoghomenma, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) along with eight elected councillors, including the Leader of the House, Nosakhare Edobor. This move is seen as a major boost to the APC in the state.

Similarly, the Chairman of Owan West Local Government Area, Dickson Ahonsi, and five elected councillors have also joined the APC. The defecting members were received by the State Secretary of the party, Lawrence Okah, and other members of the state executive committee. This development comes amid a face-off between the councils and the state governor, Monday Okpebholo.

According to Ahonsi, their decision to defect to the APC was influenced by Governor Okpebholo’s impressive performance since assuming office. Ahonsi praised the governor’s appointments and projects, stating that they demonstrate Edo is in safe hands. He expressed enthusiasm about joining the party and contributing to its success.

The defection of these local government chairmen and councillors is a significant blow to the opposing party and a major gain for the APC in Edo State. As the political landscape continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how this development impacts the state’s politics.
