A prominent cleric, Dr. Elijah Jack, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State, taking more than 3,000 of his supporters with him.

The defection ceremony, held over the weekend at Oniong East Ward 1 in Onna Local Government Area, drew the attendance of several past and serving political office holders.
