Bayelsa Senator Defects from PDP to APC, Citing Party's Internal Struggles
Senator Benson Agadaga of Bayelsa East officially left the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), criticizing the PDP's internal battles and selfish interests. He highlighted the PDP's loss of moral standing and unity, stating that the party has become a shadow of itself.
This defection is part of a trend of lawmakers crossing over to the APC due to dissatisfaction with the PDP's leadership. Agadaga's political trajectory, including various roles in Bayelsa State, was largely shaped by the PDP.
The defection signifies a significant blow to the PDP in Bayelsa.
