Mass Defection in Benue State as PDP, ADC, LP Members Join APC

In a major political realignment in Benue State, members of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), and Labour Party (LP) defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The defection ceremony in Vandeikya drew a large crowd, with the state APC chairman declaring the collapse of the opposition in the area.

Prominent figures like former PDP governorship aspirant Domin Akaaha and former commissioner Cletu Akwaya joined the APC, showing overwhelming support for Governor Hyacinth Alia. The event was seen as a boost for the APC's influence in the state.
