The Speaker of the House, Tajudeen Abbas, announced their defection at the resumption of plenary on Tuesday in Abuja.

The Speaker listed the six members from Delta State as Victor Nwokolo, Julius Pondi, Thomas Ereyitomi, Nicholas Mutum, Ukodhiko Jonathan, and Nnamdi Ezechi.

In their notice of defection, the defected members cited the crisis in the PDP as the reason for their defections.

Ezechi, representing Ndokwa East/Ndokwa West/Ukwuani Federal Constituency, said that he had no choice but to join the ‘performing governor’ of Delta State to the APC to consolidate progress.
