A member of the House of Representatives Hon. Nkeiru Onyejeocha has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
As stated by Daily Sun, six other lawmakers in the House of Reps and Abia State House of Assembly were discussing with leaders of the APC in the state for possible defection to the party.
Onyejeocha (Isuikwuato/Ummunneochi – Abia State) was said to have formally registered for the APC in her ward on Wednesday after being convinced by former governor of the state and chieftain of APC, Orji Uzor Kalu, to do so.
Onyejeocha was a Local Government Chairman and Commissioner in Abia State during the administration of Kalu.
