They were accompanied by hundreds of their supporters, who cited the PDP’s regard for the Abudu people as their reason for defecting.
The defectors listed several landmark projects executed by the Governor Godwin Obaseki-led administration, including the College of Education, the massive High Court Building, and the construction of the Abudu Bridge.

Midwest Ogbebor, and Mrs. Nosakhare Aladeselu, Amb. Wesley Asoro, Barr. Charles Aideyan, Mrs. Isoken Osa, Councilors, among others.
