Breaking: PDP, LP Lose Members To APC

Two members of the opposition parties in the House of Representatives on Tuesday joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The two members are Peter Akpanke representing Obanliku/Obudu/ Beware federal constituency of Cross River State, who is leaving the PDP and Prof Paul Nnamchi representing Enugu East/Isi Uzo federal constituency of Enugu, who is leaving the Labour Party.

While Akpanke said he was dumping the PDP because of 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.

Akpanke however expressed appreciation to the PDP for giving him the opportunity to fly its flag, adding the absence of peace in the party has necessitated his decision to move to another party.
