Six Lawmakers Defect to APC from PDP and LP, Citing Internal Divisions
Six lawmakers from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) in Nigeria defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) during a plenary session. The lawmakers cited irreconcilable differences and internal divisions within their former parties as the primary reasons for their defection.
This move further consolidates APC's influence in the National Assembly, especially in the South East region. The presence of Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah and Nentaw Yilwatda during the proceedings signals a growing influence of APC in the region.
