The Deputy Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, George Ibezimako Ozodinobi (LP, Anambra), has criticized his colleagues for defecting from the Labour Party (LP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
On Thursday, four members of the LP – Chinedu Okere (Owerri Municipal/Owerri North/Owerri West Constituency), Mathew Donatus (Kaura Federal Constituency, Kaduna), Akiba Bassey (Calabar Municipal/Odukpani Constituency), and Esosa Iyawe (Oredo Federal Constituency, Edo) – officially left the party.
In a letter read by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen during plenary, the defectors cited internal conflicts within the Labour Party – which secured approximately six million votes in last year’s presidential election – as the reason for their defection.
