Enugu Senator Defects to APC Citing Lack of Internal Democracy

Senator Chukwu, representing Enugu East, has officially defected from the Labour Party to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The senator cited the collapse of internal democracy within the Labour Party as a major reason for his decision to switch parties.

His defection was announced during a Senate plenary session and was met with applause from several lawmakers. Senator Chukwu highlighted the failure of the Labour Party to uphold the values of discipline that initially attracted many politicians to the party.

With this move, the APC strengthens its majority in the Senate, consolidating its control over legislative affairs.
