Edo State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Emperor Jarret Tenebe, has said that, the party has received several requests from politicians who are eager to defect from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to APC.

“The Governor of Delta State crossed to the APC. It’s not because he is looking for money or has committed any offence. If these people had committed any sin, they would have been with the EFCC. They crossed because of what they were seeing,” he said.

Speaking during a Channels TV interview, Tenebe said: “We are planning another round of receptions in the coming weTenebe stressed that, only a sinner would refused to see the achievements of Governor Monday Okpebholo since assuming office.

Tenebe stressed that the recent defections were motivated by “visible progress and influence,” of APC, rather than fear of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

“It takes a sinner not to see the work that Governor Okpebholo is doing. The Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Blessing Agbebaku, who defected yesterday, said it himself – nobody is influencing anyone. He told the governor he had served under Governor Obaseki but has now drawn a line and decided to join the APC.”

According to Tenebe, the APC is expecting more defections in the coming weeks. “After yesterday’s defections, many more people have called to join. We’re planning another round of receptions in the coming weeks. I’ll be touring the state to receive new members ahead of a major event that will ultimately crumble the PDP in Edo.”

Tenebe also dismissed speculations that the Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, and others were fleeing possible prosecution or driven by personal gain.
