The lawmakers while confirming their defection to the Labour Party on the floor of the House at plenary, after the Speaker has informed the lawmakers of their written communication, attributed the development to their expulsion by the YPP on grounds of alleged anti-party activities.
Welcoming the two lawmakers, the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Emmanuel Emeruwa appreciated them for their decision and urged them to return to their respective wards to formally get registered with the party at the ward level and obtain their membership cards to be eligible and bonafide members of the party.
