A two-term member of Edo House of Assembly, Mr Ojezele Osesua, has dumped Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for All Progressives Congress (APC).

Osesua, representing Esan South-East Constituency, announced his defection on Monday in Benin at a news conference held at the APC state secretariat.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the development came less than two months after PDP lost the state to APC in the governorship election.

NAN also reports that the lawmaker was received by members of the State Working Committee (SWC) of the party headed by Jarrett Tenebe.

Osesua said that he decided to dump the opposition party over what he called”irreconcilable crisis.”

He said that his defection was like paying back a debt he owed the ruling when he left the party in 2020, after it had sponsored him to win election in 2019.

“In 2019, I was elected into the assembly on the platform of APC. Due to some challenges, I left the party and joined PDP after one year.

“Though I was elected on the PDP platform in 2023, I have been indebted to APC. It is that debt I have come to pay with my defection,” he said.

On his part, the APC chairman commended the legislator for joining the party.

Tenebe described Osesua as a ‘focused, election-winning’ member, adding: “It’s not APC’s fault that PDP has issues.

“You will recall that during the election campaigns, I said our doors were open and the doors are still open,” he said. (NAN)
