Governor of Cross River State, Nigeria, Prof. Ben Ayade, has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The governor announced his decision to join the APC on Thursday morning in a meeting with six APC governors who visited him at the Government House according to Punch.
Some governors in the All Progressives Congress arrived in Calabar on Wednesday to persuade Ayade to defect from PDP to their party.
Some of the APC governors are Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State, Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodima and Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State among others.
One of the PDP governors has predicted this defection a long time ago. He especially said it when Umahi defected to APC that he was expecting another one to defect from Southsouth.
