The All Progressives Congress (APC) lost members on Friday as Mr Dennis Idahosa, Commissioner for Investment and Public/Private Partnership in Edo and other leaders of the APC in Ovia South West Local Government Area of the State, defected to the Peoples Democratic Party .
They were received into the PDP by the state Chairman, Mr Dan Orbih.
Idahosa noted that his defection was a prelude to his resignation as commissioner, which he said would follow soon.
He said, “the reason I am joining PDP is that I don’t agree with the way Oshiomhole abuses our elders and President Jonathan. I stand to support President Jonathan for the presidency.”
Idahosa said more serving commissioners in Oshiomhole’s cabinet have expressed willingness to join the PDP.
