The All Progressives Congress (APC) continues to deal heavy blow to other political parties in Olamaboro LGA of Kogi State as the Deputy Governor of the State, Chief (Dr) Edward Onoja, on Saturday, received Hon Linus Enenche and his teeming PDP supporters back to the APC.

Hon Linus Enenche who boasts of a strong political pedigree was a former Education Secretary, former APC State Secretary, and the former lawmaker representing Olamaboro Constituency at the Kogi State House of Assembly.

Bobby Alewo Ujah and other APC stalwarts.

Speaking, Chief Onoja described Hon Linus Enenche as a political heavyweight and staunch grassroots mobilizer whose return was a valuable addition to the APC Family.

He said the gale of defections to the APC was a sign of increasing acceptance of the Party as well as the recognition of the enormous achievements of Governor Yahaya Bello as the Leader of the APC in Kogi State.

The Deputy Governor directed that Hon Linus Enenche be accorded all leadership rights and responsibilities to help him bring his years of expertise to bare in delivering on the vision of the APC, especially in Olamaboro Ward II.
