Twenty two aggrieved governorship aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party in Akwa Ibom State, otherwise known as G22, have finally defected from PDP to All Progressives Congress.

They will meet the APC’s presidential candidate, Major-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, on Monday, January 12, 2015.

It was learnt that the 22 governorship aspirants of the PDP in the controversial December 8, 2014 primary in the state decided to defect from PDP to the APC on Wednesday.

One of the aspirants, who spoke on condition of anonymity with our correspondent on Thursday, said their decision was based on the way they were treated by the PDP in the state.

The aspirant also said President Goodluck Jonathan could not find a solution to the crisis.

He said the crisis came to a head on January 6, 2015 when Jonathan, after scheduling to meet with them, later declined.
