Two PDP Reps Defect To APGA

Two lawmakers in the House of Representatives, Ben Nwankwo and Anayo Anebe, have defected to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

The Rep members, who were of the Peopled Democratic Party, announced their defection during plenary on Tuesday.

This is the first time a lawmaker from the lower legislative House is defecting to APGA.

Nwankwo represents Orumba north/south federal constituency, while Anebe is from Awka north/south, both from Anambra State.

In separate letters read by House Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, both men cited division in the state chapter of the party as the reason for their defection.

The defection now brings the total number of lawmakers in the House of Representatives to three.
