SHOCKING:MASS DEFECTION TO APC FROM PDP IN DELTA

Almost immediately after the formal announcement last Wednesday by the
Independent. Naytional Electoral Commission (INEC)
that Gen Buhari was the winner of last Saturday's presidential election, has precipitated what one PDP insider in the state described as "a defection fever."

According to the source, Governor Uduaghan an d the PDP's governorship candidate, Ifeanyi Okowa, had held separate emergency meetings with party members in Asaba to avert announcements of mass defections.

"Following the declaration of General Muhammadu Buhari as the president-elect, the PDP in Delta has suffered serious underground exodus from the party to the APC. This has created serious sleepless nights and panic within the party," our source said.

"Some strongholds of the PDP in the state across the 25 council areas have been broken. Some of our foot soldiers, aggrieved members as well as heavy weights, are said to be forming strong alliance with the APC," the source added.

O'tega Emerhor, the APC's governorship candidate, is scheduled to be in Asaba on Sunday to meeting
"some PDP bigwigs and supporters" reportedly considering switching political affiliation.
