Two prominent members of the National Assembly from the New Nigeria Political Party(NNPP), have defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
This comes barely twenty-four hours after the Peoples Democratic Party in Kaduna state lost one member of the House of Representatives, Daniel Amos, to the nation’s governing party.
The lawmakers are Abdulmumin Jibrin and Sagir Goki, of the House of Representatives, who announced their defections in separate letters read by the Speaker, Abbas Tajudeen.
The legislators cited an irreconcilable crisis in NNPP in Kano state as a reason for their action.
