In Bayelsa State, Nigeria, over 100 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have defected to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Angalabiri community. This shift was announced on Saturday during Senator Henry Seriake Dickson's visit to the area. Dickson, the NDC national leader and senatorial candidate for Bayelsa West, received the defectors and affirmed that Angalabiri had chosen to support the NDC in the upcoming 2027 general elections.
He promised the defectors a warm welcome into the party and stated that the community now stands firmly behind the NDC.
Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, who previously served as the governor of Bayelsa State, urged residents to maintain unity and collaborate with community leaders to ensure peaceful and credible elections. He cautioned against activities that could cause divisions, tension, or disturb the community's peace, emphasizing the importance of every eligible voter participating in the electoral process.
Dickson also urged the people to uphold the principle of 'one man, one vote' and reject electoral violence, intimidation, and malpractice, regardless of the perpetrators.
Earlier on Saturday, the NDC also reported additional gains when members of the APC from Isampou and Ogrigbene communities in Ekeremor Local Government Area defected to the party.
