Anambra lawmaker dumps APGA for APC
Uzozie, who announced his defection on the floor of the House on Tuesday, said: “Mr Speaker, I want to thank my colleagues in the House for their prayers and support while I was away for medical reasons.
NAN recalls that Uzozie emerged as factional speaker after the unsuccessful attempt by members to impeach the Speaker Rita Maduagwu. Speaking to newsmen, the two-term member of the House said he left APGA to enjoy greater peace of mind as the party has refused to reverse his suspension of more than five months after.
“I have been on suspension, which they notified me in writing, and they have not reversed it at least in writing, so I have to continue my life in a more peaceful environment,” Uzozie said.
