Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River State yesterday defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2023 general election.
The governor, who announced his defection to the APC at the Government House in Calabar, said he pitched tent with the APC because there was a need for him and other governors to work closely with President Muhammadu Buhari to implement the Change Agenda.
He announced his defection after a two-hour meeting with seven APC governors led by Chairman of the party’s Caretaker Committee and Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni.

The nation’s polity is twitching sequel to the extension of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) membership registration and revalidation exercise for a second time.
This is especially as some top shots and power brokers in the party are said to be uncomfortable with the development. But party officials say it is geared towards providing opportunity for more Nigerians to register with the party.
There are feelers that some APC bigwigs had tactically threatened the success of the exercise by allegedly hoarding materials and hijacking the process in some states in order to gain political capital.
