Two members of the House of Representatives, Peter Akpanke and Paul Nnamchi, have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Akpanke, who represents the Obanliku/Obudu/Bekwara federal constituency in Cross River State, was elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, while Nnamchi, representing Enugu East/Isi-Uzo federal constituency in Enugu State, was formerly with the Labour Party.

Tajudeen Abbas, speaker of the house, read their defection notices during Tuesday’s plenary.

Akpanke attributed his defection to internal wrangling within the PDP, while Nnamchi blamed a leadership crisis in the LP for his decision to leave.

Just over a week later, on March 27, Clara Nnabuife, who represents Orumba North/South in Anambra, left the Young Progressives Party for the All Progressives Grand Alliance, attributing her defection to being “sidelined” from party activities.

On May 6, six PDP members joined the APC, while two Labour Party (LP) legislators moved to the PDP.

Obetta Chidi, who represents Nsukka/Igbo-Eze South federal constituency of Enugu, defected from the LP to the PDP.

On May 8, three PDP members from Katsina moved to the APC.

Abdullahi Balarabe, who represents the Bakori/Danja federal constituency, said he sought a more stable platform due to the “protracted crisis” in the PDP.

Abubakar Albaba Aliyu, who represents the Batasari/Safana/Dan-Musa federal constituency, said he left the PDP due to its “lack of cohesiveness”.

Yusuf Majigiri, representing the Mashi/Dutsi federal constituency, cited a “high level of internal crisis without cure” in the PDP.

On May 15, two lawmakers — Kabiru Usman and Abdullahi Sani, who represent Rano/Bunkure/Kibiya and Karaye/Rogo federal constituencies of Kano, respectively — defected from the New Nigeria Peoples Party to the APC
