This followed a letter written to the House by the defected members and read by the Speaker Rt. Hon. Emmanuel Emeruwa at the plenary sitting of Tuesday 14th 2024.
Announcing their defection at floor of the House, Iheanocho Nwogu explained that he was expelled by his Party the YPP for anti party activities hence his decision to join the Labor Party.
Again, Member representing Osisioma South State Constituency Hon. Fyne Ahuama who equally noted that he was expelled by his Party (YPP), said having seen what the Governor has done in the State, his defection was geared towards supporting the Governor Dr. Alex Otti to do more.
With the new development, the Labour Party has 11 members in the House, while the PDP presently has 11 members while the APC has just 1 member.
The Speaker also read out a message from the Governor Dr. Otti seeking for the screening and confirmation of Members of the Judicial Service Commission Nominees.
