Two members of the House of Representatives have defected from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
The Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, at the plenary on Wednesday, read separate letters from Mr Ephraim Nwuzi, who is representing Etche/Omuma Federal Constituency in Rivers State, and Mr David Abel representing Gashaka/Kurmi/Sardauna Federal Constituency in Taraba State, announcing their defections.
The Speaker, however, described leaders of the opposition as hypocrites, recalling that as Minority Leader in the previous Assemblies he also protested against defections to the PDP but his arguments were dismissed. Gbajabiamila noted that the PDP failed to lay the foundation of sanctioning illegal defections while in power.DOWNLOAD THE PUNCH NEWS APP NOW ON
