Following yesterday’s defection of a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmaker in Edo State House of Assembly to the All Progressives Congress (APC), the ruling party now controls the assembly with 15 members.
In the 24-member 8th Edo State House of Assembly, APC now has 15 lawmakers, while the main opposition PDP is left with nine legislators.
Governor Monday Okpebholo yesterday predicted the collapse of PDP in the state, with more of its members dumping it for the APC.
