More than 8,000 All Progressives Congress, APC, members have dumped the party for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Benue State.
Hon. Mark Gbillah the lawmaker representing Gwer West/East in the National Assembly was reported to be among those that dumped the ruling party.
Gbillah, speaking on behalf of those that defected in Naka, Gwer West Local Government Area of the State, yesterday, he said they left APC after consulting with major stakeholders in the constituency.
The lawmaker said;“This is the axis that herdsmen ravaged the most in our state apart from Makurdi, Guma and Logo Local Government areas.
“Our people were killed and chased away from their communities and ancestral homes and the Federal Government feigned ignorance, despite the cries of every one of us, including Governor Samuel Ortom.
“So over 8,000 of us are leaving the party and more will be leaving in the coming days as the train moves to other areas of my constituency and Gwer East.”
