A Peoples Democratic Party reps member and that of Labour Party have defected to the All Progressives Congress.
The two members of the opposition parties announced their defection in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, June 24.
PDP’s Peter Akpanke, representing Obanliku/Obudu/Beware federal constituency of Cross River State, defected to the APC alongside Labour Party’s Prof Paul Nnamchi, representing Enugu East/Isi Uzo federal constituency of Enugu.
While Akpanke said he was dumping the PDP because of a protracted crisis, which has defied solution, Nnamchi also hinged his decision on the leadership crisis in the Labour Party.
The letter of defection of the two lawmakers was read at plenary on Tuesday by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen.
