2027: Three Rep members dump APC, LP defect to PDP

Three members of the House of Representatives have dumped their various parties for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, while presiding over the House disclosed that that Shehu Dalhatu, representing Faskari/Kankara/Sabuwa Federal Constituency of Katsina State, dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, for the PDP.

In his letter of defection, Dalhatu said he resolved to join the PDP after careful consideration of the issues in the APC and having consulted with his constituencies.

Another House member from Delta State, Etanabene Benedict, on his part, left the Labour Party for the PDP, attributing his move to the crisis in the Labour Party  in the state.

Also, the member representing Yakurr/Abi constituency in Cross River state, Alex Egbona, dumped the APC for the PDP, noting, however, that his commitment to the House and his constituency remains unshakeable.

MEDIA TODAY had earlier reported that six Oyo PDP lawmakers at the green chamber defected to the Allied Peoples Movement, APM.
