Speaking during the defection held at the on going mini stadium, Princess Felicia stated that it was her first time of switching parties and Sen Jarigbe’s performance is the major reason behind her decision. “I am defecting from APC today because the party has failed in all her promises and also due to the sterling performance of Sen Jarigbe since his stay at the National Assembly.”
Receiving the defectors, Sen Jarigbe Agom, congratulated them for finally seeing the light and moving away from the deceit of APC.
“I welcome you all to the PDP family. Here, we do not tell lies, that’s why they call me the ‘Talk and do Senator’ because I keep to my word unlike Ayade and his APC.
“There’s no ward in our Senatorial District that is without 2 or more projects to my name and we’ll do more as we progress.
“Your Years of suffering in politics are over and it will be visible in the coming days” he added.

Paul Ebiala PhD and Dr Martins Achadu, took turns to address the defectors, urging them to put in their best to ensure the party’s candidates emerge victorious in all the forthcoming elections.
