There were also reports that some of Mr. Pwajok’s constituents had asked him to dump the PDP for the APC.
In a dramatic twist, the minority leader of the house protested, stating that there was no division in the PDP and Ali Sheriff is the National Chairman of the PDP.
Meanwhile, the executive governor of Plateau state, Simon Lalong, was at the plenary to welcome the lawmaker to the APC.
Mr. Lalong also revealed that more lawmakers have concluded plans to join APC .
