LABOUR PARTY LAWMAKER DEFECTS TO THE RULING ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS.

Lawmaker representing Imo-East Senatorial District, Ezenwa Onyewuchi, has dumped the Labour Party (LP), for the All-Progressives Congress (APC).

Onyewuchi left the party one year after winning the 2023 senatorial election on the platform of the oppsition party.

In his letter of defection, Onyewuchi also declared his support for President Bola Tinubu’s administration, adding that his decision is due to the intractable division and crisis in the Labour Party on whose platform he was elected to the senate.

Onyewuchi’s defection letter was read on the floor of the red chamber by Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Tuesday.

Imo state Governor, Hope Uzodimma who is also the chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF), was in the chamber when the letter was read.

Onyewuchi had officially announced his defection to the Labour Party in June 2022.
