NDC Members Defect to APC in Bayelsa State
On September 11, 2026, several members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Sagbama Local Government Area, Bayelsa State, defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The defection was led by Mr. Bekeowei Ogbemudia, a grassroots politician, who announced their exit during a visit to Bayelsa State Deputy Governor, Pastor Peter Pereotubo Akpe, at the Government House in Yenagoa.
Ogbemudia cited disunity, unilateral decision-making, and a lack of recognition for field workers as reasons for their departure from the NDC. He expressed confidence that the APC would achieve a landslide victory in the 2027 general elections, claiming that the NDC was disorganized and would not win in Sagbama.
The Deputy Governor, Dr. Peter Akpe, thanked the defectors for returning to the APC and encouraged them to engage in issue-based campaigns for the upcoming elections.
