House of Representatives
The main opposition party in Nigeria, the Peoples Democratic Party has lost two members in the House of Representatives.
This comes after the Reps members – Mike Etaba and Lego Idagbo of Cross River – joined the ruling party All Progressives Congress.
Recall that the Governor of Cross River State, Ben Ayade had some weeks ago decamped from the PDP to the APC.
The defections were announced on Tuesday by the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila after reading letters from the two lawmakers.
This is coming shortly after a Zamfara Senator, Hassan Mohammad Gusau also dumped the party on Tuesday.
