Imo speaker, other lawmakers defect to APC
The Speaker of Imo State House of Assembly, Collins Chiji, and seven other members of the house have announced their defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress .
This defection is coming barely three weeks after the Supreme Court sacked Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party and declared Hope Uzodinma of the ruling APC as the governor of the state.
Prior to this development, on Monday, the Imo State Chairman of the PDP, Charles Ezekwem, defected to the APC. As stated in his resignation letter, Mr Ezekwem said his decision was informed by “the prevailing circumstances within my party, vis-a-vis my present standing as the state chairman of the PDP. After due consultations with my family and with the approval of my supporters, I hereby tender my resignation as state chairman of PDP.”
