In addition, Emmanuel Ukpong-Udo, a former member of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), representing Ikono/Ini federal constituency in Akwa Ibom, has also joined the APC.
This wave of defections follows the recent launch of the African Development Congress (ADC) by the opposition coalition, triggering a shift in party allegiances.
