The lawmaker says he took the decision 'for reasons best known to me.”
The All Progressives Grand Alliance lawmaker representing Aguata II at the Anambra State House of Assembly, Ikem Uzozie, has defected to the All Progressives Congress .“Mr Speaker, I want to thank my colleagues in the House for their prayers and support while I was away for medical reasons.
It would be recalled that Mr Uzozie emerged as factional speaker after the unsuccessful attempt by members to impeach the Speaker, Rita Maduagwu. Speaking to journalists, the two-term member said he left APGA to enjoy greater peace of mind as the party had refused to reverse his suspension of more than five months.
“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,” he said.
