Why two more Reps dump APC again

Just a day after two members of the House of Representatives dumped All Progressives Congress (APC), two others have also announced their decision to join other parties.

The two lawmakers who dumped APC are Ahmed Abu, who represents Lavun/Mokwa/Idati federal constituency of Niger State, and Olemija Stephen, who represents Akoko North-East/West of Ondo State.

In a letter read by the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara on Thursday, the duo based their defection on the conduct of the APC primaries.

Mr Olemija, defected to Action Alliance (AA) while Mr Abu announced he was defecting to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

Similarly, one of the two members who defected yesterday but did not declare for a political party, Mukaila Kazeem, formally announced his membership of Allied People’s Movement (APM).
