The APC State Deputy Treasurer, Prince Adekunle Benson who introduced the defectors, said that the defectors meant well as elections in the state are forthcoming, which means they are very ready to work for the party development and victory.
He also promised them that nobody will be marginalized because we are one in the progressive camp, adding that their joining is a signal that the opposition PDP is totally dead in entire Oroluland and even in the state.
