Matthew Uroghide, a two-time senator for Edo South, has shifted his allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He officially left the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC during a ceremony in Benin City on Saturday.
After a 13-year and three-month tenure with the PDP, he rejoined the APC, a party he regards as home to seasoned politicians and leaders he trusts and respects.
Senator Uroghide, a founding member of the APC, expressed his enthusiasm about rejoining and committed to contributing to the party’s growth and success in the upcoming 2024 Edo gubernatorial election.

He wasn’t the only one to switch sides; among others, Patrick Giwa, a former House of Representatives clerk and 2023 Owan Federal Constituency candidate, also defected to the APC.
Additionally, eight local government chairmen, including Frank Ilaboya of the Owan West Local Government Area, made the move to the APC.
Distinguished APC figures, such as Senator Adams Oshiomhole and state executives, were present to welcome the new members to the party.
