He also said the defection was “informed by the need to align with a political platform that best reflects my commitment to good governance, inclusive settlement, and help our interests of the good people of my senatorial district that I represent.

“My defection is also necessitated by the irreconcilable indifference and persistent internal blackness within the Action Democratic Party, which all together have hindered my ability to effectively contribute to the party’s ideals and to deliver quality representation to my country.

Pam has confidence that the All Progressive Congress provides a more stable, more progressive platform, through which he can continue to serve his constituents and the nation “with renewed focus and dedication.

“Kindly accept this letter as my formal notification in line with the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and please accept me into the fold of the APC”, he said.

After reading Pam’s letter of defection, Akpabio mocked the opposition parties, saying that the few of the remaining have their eyes on APC and they are only waiting for when they will join the ruling party.
