Dr. Francis Udoikpong, a chieftain of the PDP in Akwa Ibom State on Saturday defected to the APC.
Dr Udoikpong, a PDP State Caucus member and former State Commissioner for Health defected with about 5,000 others including Sir Godwin Idungafa among others.
The defection of the Ika Local Government Area PDP leader came barely a month after Deputy Inspector-General of Police Udom Ekpoudom (rtd) and Obong Otu Robert Akpan, his counterparts in Etim Ekpo and Ini local government areas, respectively, joined the APC together with Senator Godswill Akpabio, the former Senate Minority leader.
