SIX DELTA PDP FEDERAL LAWMAKERS DECAMP TO APC

Six Delta State lawmakers under the People's Democratic Party (PDP) at the House of Representatives have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing internal PDP crisis. 

The defected lawmakers include Nnamdi Ezechi, Jonathan Ukodiko, Nicholas Mutu, Thomas Ereyitomi, Julius Pondi and Victor Nwokolo.

Citing PDP's instability as a threat to delivering on their mandates, the defectors, who were welcomed by the Speaker of the House, Tajudeen Abbas, claimed that their constituents support the move, therefore, joining the APC will help consolidate progress in Delta State. 

In a separate development, two Labour Party lawmakers from Enugu State, Chidi Obetta, and Dennis Agbo, defected to the PDP, claiming that the party’s internal issues made it impossible for them to effectively represent their constituents.
