Barely 24 hours after a protracted riot staged by Imo State indegines asking for the reversal of the Supreme Court ruling that ousted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate, Emeka Ihedioha, nine lawmakers of the State’s House of Assembly have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party, All Progressives Grand Alliance, and Action Action.
The defectors include: Authur Egwim (Ideato North) from AA to APC; Chyna Iwuanyanwu (Nwangele), PDP; Chidiebere Ogbunikpa(Okigwe), PDP; Obinna Okwara(Nkwerre), AA; and Paul Emeziem (Onuimo) also from PDP to APC.
Others are Ekene Nnodimele (Orsu) from APGA to APC, Johnson Duru(Ideato South), AA; Ngozi Obiefule (Isu) AA; and Heclus Okorocha (Ohaji/Egbema) from PDP to APC.
Speaker Collins Chiji read their letters of defection at the ongoing plenary.
Details shortly…
