Over 1000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Igueben Local Government Area, including the former Local Government Transition Committee Chairman, Hon. Tom Adodo have thrown their support for the administration of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as they formally dumped the Peoples Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

Igueben is the hometown of PDP chieftain, Chief Tom Ikimi.

Addressing the governor and chieftains of the APC at Government House yesterday, Elder Tom Adodo, former Transition Committee Chairman said, “Today, many of us that are here are from Ward 1 to 10 in Igueben Local Government. We are here to pledge and affirm our support to the Comrade Governor because it is only a foolish man that will not see the developmental strides of the governor in Edo State in the past 6 years.”

He said, “For so many years, PDP administration brought decay to our infrastructures, we have seen decay even in our moral lives and for the 6 years and three months of the Comrade Governor, we have seen transformation in Edo State and so we are here to pledge our loyalty to the government that have done so much for the people of Edo State.”

He assured the governor of their total support.

Also, a former youth leader, PDP Ward 6, Otoide Precious thanked the governor for his good works in the state.
