Two members of the House of Representatives from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The defectors are Rep. Peter Akpanke, who represents Obanliku/Obudu/Bekwarra Federal Constituency in Cross River State, and Prof. Paul Nnamchi, representing Enugu East/Isi Uzo Federal Constituency in Enugu State.
The lawmakers attributed their defection to internal crises within their former parties and a desire to align with the policies and programmes of the Federal Government.
Speaker of the House, Rep. Abbas Tajudeen, read their defection letters during plenary on Tuesday and congratulated them on joining the APC.
