A PDP senator, Nelson Effiong,
today announced his defection from the people’s democratic party (PDP) to the
All progressives congress (APC).
The
development has rattled some nerves in the PDP as caucus leader, Senator
Godswill Akpabio has vowed to challenge the defection.
63 year old Effiong represents
Akwa Ibom South in the senate. Politics Nigeria learnt that Effiong’s
defection could have been caused by his rift with Akwa Ibom state
governor, Mr Udom Emmanuel, over 2019 A’Ibom governorship elections.
The PDP caucus
has resolved to settle the issues between both politicians.
