The PDP chieftains and their supporters are from Benue South senatorial district, the senatorial district of former senate President, Senator David Mark, whose rerun election is likely to hold in February.
The defection of the politicians will be made official at the flag off campaign of the senatorial candidate of APC, Comrade Daniel Onjeh.
At the event which is taking place today in Otukpo Local Government Area, the tradio political seat of Idoma nation, other prominent Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members, including former Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Defence, Chief Mike Okibe Onoja, are bid to defect to the APC.
At the flag off campaign of APC senatorial candidate, the national leaders of the APC, including Senator Bola Tinubu, Chief John Oyegun, national chairman of the party, Minister of Agriculture, Chief Audu Ogbe, who also hails from the same Ogbadibo local government area of Benue State as Onjeh, as well as the state governor, Samuel Ortom, Senators George Akume and Barnabas Gemade would be in attendance.
The APC is deploying everything in its arsenal to ensure that it wins the election. Onjeh has boasted that he will defeat Mark and liberate Idoma people from shackle of underdevelopment inflicted on them by the PDP for over 16 years.
Appeal Court in November, last year nullified the election of former senate president, Senator David Mark and ordered a rerun election within 90 days
