Two lawmakers in the House of Representatives, Blessing Onuh of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Benue and Yakubu Abdullahi from Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Bauchi, have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
They said that they were pushed out of their parties because of internal crisis in them.
Representative Blessing said, on the floor of the House, that she left APGA due to leadership crisis in the state chapter of the party, even as Representative Yakubu Abdullahi said that he defected from PRP due to division, internal wrangling and infighting resulting in factionalisation.
They said that they consulted widely before taking the decision to leave the parties.
Members of the main opposition party in the House, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) did not raise objection on the defection.
