… As Okpebholo hosts major political realignment in Edo
BENIN CITY – A major political shift is set to unfold in Edo State today as Senator Clifford Ordia and his supporters formally defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in a high-profile ceremony to be hosted by Governor Monday Okpebholo.
The event, widely described as a significant political realignment, will see the Edo State Governor officially receive the senator and his political associates into the ruling party, further reshaping the state’s political landscape.
The ceremony is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. at Eguare Primary School, Irrua, in Esan Central Local Government Area, and is expected to attract a large crowd of party faithful, political stakeholders, and supporters.
In a show of political mobilisation, a roadshow procession will precede the main event, moving from Usugbenu Junction to the venue to herald the senator’s arrival and defection into the APC fold.
An invitation released by the Senator Clifford Ordia Media Group called on family members, friends, political associates, and supporters to witness what it described as a landmark moment in the state’s evolving political history.
Senator Odia represented Edo Central Senatorial District under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from 2015 – 2023 (two tenures of four years each)
