Another Abia PDP House of Assembly member defects to LP
The member representing Isuikwuato constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly, Lucky Nweke Johnson has resigned from his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the Labour Party (LP).
Johnson in a letter he addressed to the Speaker, Emmanuel Emeruwa, said he quit PDP because of the crises the party is having at the national and state levels.
The Isuikwuato constituency representative also defended his decision to join LP, saying it was informed by Governor Alex Otti’s “sterling performance”.
The lawmaker who said he took the decision after consulting with his constituents, requested that he be henceforth addressed as a member of the Labour Party.
Ekwutosblog recalls that in February, the member representing Isiala Ngwa South constituency, Rowland Dennis resigned from PDP and joined the LP. The development was condenmed by Abia State chapter of the PDP.
