Edeh Benjamin Defects to NDC, Eyes House of Reps Seat
Edeh Benjamin, a chieftain of the Labour Party, has officially defected to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and declared his intention to contest for a House of Representatives seat representing the Obudu, Obanliku, and Bekwarra federal constituency in Cross River State. His defection comes shortly after several other political figures, including Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, have also made similar moves.
Benjamin's decision was influenced by extensive consultations and strategic considerations regarding the political landscape, including party structure and long-term viability. He aims to leverage the growing support he has garnered among the youth in the area, citing his track record in media and grassroots mobilization.
His entry into the race is expected to significantly reshape the political dynamics ahead of the forthcoming elections.
