Imo PDP Rep Joins APC

The member representing Orlu/Oru East/Orsu Federal Constituency of Imo State in the House of Representatives, Hon Jerry Alagbaoso, has defected from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to Daily trust, He made his decision known in a letter presented to the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, at plenary, on Tuesday.

When Alagbaoso later saw the letter, he claimed that he had defected because he wanted to cooperate with the state’s governor, Hope Uzodinma, to “bring more dividends of democracy to the people” and bring the state into Nigerian politics.

Daily trust report that, Alagbaoso’s defection was referred to as a “earthquake moment” by Gbajabiamila because of his prominence in politics.

Daily trust report that, He claimed that’s why, as opposed to the custom, in which the speaker reads the letters submitted by defecting lawmakers, he was permitted to read his letter of defection on his own.
