Ezenwa Onyewuchi, the Senator representing Imo East and a member of the Labour Party, LP, has defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

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

With the latest defection, the number of LP senators in the upper legislative chamber is now five.

The Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, who doubles as the Chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF), was in the chamber when the letter was read.

The Imo senator cited Section 68(1g) of the Constitution to justify his defection.

“This decision is due to the intractable division and crisis in the Labour Party that sponsored the earlier election into the Nigerian Senate,” his letter reads.

“The communication is therefore made pursuant to Section 68(1g) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended.

“Imo State and the entirety of the South-East remain united under the leadership of our performing governor, Hope Uzodimma.”

Akpabio, thereafter, directed the Sergeant-at-Arms to hand Onyewuchi a new seat on the aisle of the majority lawmakers.
