After the recent defection of the Edo State House of Assembly Speaker, Blessing Agbebaku and other Peoples Democratic Party members to the All Progressives Congress, PDP member representing Oredo East Constituency, Frank Omosigho, has reaffirmed his loyalty to the party.
Frank recently said that he remains an unshakable member of the PDP despite the defections that have been happening in the past 24 hours.
Speaking via a press statement released today, he revealed that while there have been reports speculating that he is set to jump ship as well, he can confirm that he intends to stay loyal to the People’s Democratic Party.
According to him, he was nowhere close to the venue where the defectors pledged allegiance to the APC, and as Edo State goes through the current period of political uncertainty, he has decided to not be swayed by what appears to be the popular choice right now.
Frank maintained that he was elected to serve the good people of his constituency, so it would be very selfish of him to abandon them when they need him the most.

“I, Hon. Frank Omosigho, remain firmly committed to the PDP, the party under which I was elected to serve the good people of my constituency. I will be and continue to be an active participant in party activities, advocating for policies that support the advancement of my constituency and the growth of the state.
I stand by the party that gave me the platform to serve my people. The PDP remained the most viable vehicle for democratic growth and development in Edo State. I urge my constituents and supporters to disregard any misleading reports and remain steadfast in their support for our collective cause.
My stance remains clear: my focus is on the continued well-being of my constituents, effective governance, and the strengthening of the PDP in Edo State. I urge my supporters to remain undistracted by the political shifts in the assembly and continue to rally behind the PDP’s vision for a better future,” he said.
After yesterday’s defections, the PDP in Edo State has now lost more seats than any other party, with only 6 members still remaining out of 14 that won the election on the platform 2 years ago.
