Popular Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson's husband, Prince Odianosen Okojie, has joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with several of his supporters who defected on Monday at Uromi, Esan north-east local government area of Edo state.
At the event where the defection took place, the young politician said: “I was a member of the PDP. I joined politics to deliver and develop people in the locality. The PDP is now a sinking ship and I am not the captain of that ship. I had to run away from the sinking ship because of what Governor Obaseki is doing.
“Obaseki has a good vision for the state. He has rolled out his development plans and by the time he finishes, Edo State will be something else and I want to be part of that team.
“It is people in Esanland that made PDP. We are going to reverse it and deliver votes for the APC in all elections. The people of Uromi know me, I will keep doing what I have been doing to make them happy.”
