The significant political development in Ovia South-West Local Government Area of Edo State involves the defection of the council chairman, vice chairman, and ten councillors from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This move could have far-reaching implications for local governance and the political landscape of the region.

The defection may shift the balance of power in favor of the APC, potentially influencing policy direction, governance priorities, and decision-making at the council level. It could also reshape party dynamics, energize APC supporters, and present challenges for the PDP in upcoming elections. Additionally, this shift might affect the broader political strategy within Edo State, as both parties contend for dominance in the area.

Further details about the motivations behind the defection and its immediate impacts will provide more insight into the long-term consequences of this political realignment.
