    A TWO-TIME senator representing Edo South Matthew Uroghide has switched allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

    He formally defected to the APC from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at an event in Benin City on Saturday.

    His return to the APC is coming after what he described as a 13-year-three-month sojourn in the PDP.

    Senator Uroghide who described himself as a foundation member of the APC said he is glad to return to the fold of mature politicians, a party, in whose leaders he trusts and has confidence.

    The former lawmaker assured the party that he has returned to help build the party and enthrone its candidates in the 2024 Edo governorship election.
