Senator Onyesoh Defects from PDP to APC in River State Amid Political Realignment

Senator Onyesoh from River East Senatorial District in Nigeria defected from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) due to internal crisis and erosion of democratic values within the PDP. His defection was announced during a plenary session of the National Assembly, receiving applause from senators across party lines.

Senator Onyesoh expressed disappointment in the current state of the PDP and pledged full support to APC leader Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The move is viewed as a strategic shift to ensure the delivery of democratic dividends to his constituents.
