The lawmaker representing Makurdi/ Guma in the House of Representatives, Emmanuel Jime, has joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking to supporters in Makurdi yesterday, he said: “The decision I am going to take will shape the Benue political landscape.
“Some of you will be willing to tow the path, some will not.
“I have called you to tell you that I appreciate your support over the years. I have consulted broadly and I have decided to align with the conversation Nigerians are holding.
“To this end, I have this sacrifice to make, so that we can actualise our ambition on a different platform.
“By the time we resume plenary in Abuja, many of my colleagues and I will join the APC.
“I enjoin you to ponder over it and those willing to make this sacrifice with me should prepare to embrace the new path towards realising our dream for a forward Benue.”
