Ihonvbere Dumps PDP

Professor Julius Ihonvbere, a stalwart of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, and two-time gubernatorial candidate in Edo State, has defected to the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN.

In an address to his supporters who gathered at his country home in Uzebba, Owan West Local Government Area, the professor of political economy and special adviser to former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Projects Monitoring and Implementation, chided the PDP for lacking the democratic ethos and vision needed to pilot an emerging democracy like Nigeria. Ihonvbere told the people that his coming into ACN was to show that he had been fired by the courage of his conviction, that a people driven democracy is the only solution to Nigeria’s multi-faceted problems.

He promised to reinforce the leadership in Owan East and West by bringing everybody on board "to actualize the coronation of Governor Adams Oshiomhole for a second time in office come July14."
