BREAKING: Reps member defects from NNPP to APC
A member of the House of Representatives elected under the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Yusuf Galambi on Thursday, defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Galambi’s defection was contained in a letter transmitted to the leadership of the House and read on the floor during Thursday’s plenary by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas.
He represents Gwaram federal constituency of Jigawa State.
Galambi said his decision to join the APC followed a directive from his constituency.
He also said the leadership crisis in NNPP prompted his defection.
“This is not a personal decision but a directive from the constituency I represent,” he said.
Few weeks ago, three lawmakers elected under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) defected to the APC in the House of Representatives.
