Three more lawmakers on Thursday defected to the All Progressives Congress from the Peoples Democratic Party and Action Alliance, respectively.
While Uju Onwudiwe, who was recently inaugurated after winning the January 25 Njaba state constituency supplementary election, defected from AA, Samuel Otuibe (Ahiazu Mbaise) and Paschal Okolie (Orlu) switched allegiance from the PDP.
Their letters of defection were read during plenary by the Speaker of the House, Collins Chiji.
This is coming after 17 lawmakers from the PDP, AA and APGA defected from their parties to join the ruling APC.
With the latest set of defections, the APC now has 21 lawmakers while the PDP is left with only six.
