Prince Godswill Edward, the son-in-law of former President Goodluck Jonathan, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Edward decamped to the ruling party together with many of his supporters at Usumutong/Abeugo council ward in Abi Local Government Area of Cross River state on Wednesday, June 9.
The Director-General of the Conference of APC Support Groups, Obidike Chukwuebuka, congratulated Prince Edward on his decision to abandon PDP.

He described his move as a victory for the APC in the South-South part of Nigeria and a plausible confirmation of President Buhari’s unflinching leadership style.
“Our president has yet again been vindicated by the crucial entry of key political figureheads in Cross River state that our president has the popular support and hearts of the Nigerian people, especially those of the South South.” he said.
Recall that Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River had on May 20 also dumped the PDP for the APC.
