The Federal House of Representatives coordinator of Bishiri South Ward, Mr. Pius Unung, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the ruling All Progressive Congress.
Pius Unung defected on Thursday at Amunga Primary School during the campaign flag off ceremony of Chief Sunny Ayang, the chairmanship candidate of the All Progressive Congress.
The event, which attracted a large crowd, also saw the defection of numerous individuals from the main opposition party, the People Democratic Party (PDP) including the PDP chairmanship aspirant Mr. Ignitius Ukashia’s family, a former party Woman Leader, Alice Ekpachi, Sunday Ujabang, Alabe Francis, Rose Upai, Otoyo Theresa, and many others.
These defectors publicly renounced their former party affiliation before being officially welcomed by the Chapter Chairman of the APC, Pastor George Ijikang. They also expressed their commitment to supporting Chief Sunny Ayang and the APC in the upcoming elections.
