Confusion as two PDP Reps defect to APC
There was confusion in the House of Representatives on Wednesday as two members, elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party defected to the All Progressives Congress .
The Deputy Minority Leader of the House, Rep. Toby Okechukwu , said that Nigeria is founded on laws and laid down due processes.

Kingsley Chinda urged the speaker to do what was right to advance the course of democracy in the country.
According to him, Mr. Speaker, this is an opportunity before you do the right thing and failure to do so is either cowardice or incompetence.In his response, Gbajabiamila recalled that he was once a minority leader in the house and many of his members defected to the PDP which was then the ruling party.
