As the leadership tussle between many factions in the Labour Party, LP, in Cross River State persists, the defection of Brian Odey, the lawmaker representing Yala state constituency 1 in the House of Assembly is yet another serious blow that has been dealt on the beleaguered party.
Over the weekend, the leadership of the state ruling party, APC, formally received Brian Odey and other defectors in a grand event.
Odey joined the APC in Yahe Ward of Yala LGA.
Both factions led by Ogar Osim and John Ushie, told the Cross River State Independent Electoral Commission, CROSIEC, that they are ready to field candidates for upcoming Council elections on October 25, 2024.
Another lawmaker who was also welcomed to the APC is Martins Achadu, he represents Yala 2 State Constituency and officially defected to the APC in the Ijiraga ward.
Receiving them, Speaker of the Assembly, Elvert Ayambem described their move as a strategic decision for the APC, describing both as experienced lawmakers and passionate for their constituencies.
“Brian’s arrival is not only a personal joy for me, but it is also a victory for the APC. His dedication and commitment to his constituents will undoubtedly contribute to the growth and success of our party,” the Speaker remarked.
