A member of the House of Representatives elected under the Labour Party, Fom Daniel Chollom has announced his defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday.
Gatekeepers News reports that his defection was announced in a letter read during plenary by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen.
He cited the Labour Party’s leadership crisis and his desire to support the President in national development.
Chollom explained that the party’s internal conflicts had made it difficult for him to align with any faction, hindering his ability to deliver effective representation.
He said that he has reflected deeply on the leadership crisis in the Labour Party and came the conclusion that he will better serve the interest of his people within the fold of the All Progressives Congress.
While appreciating the Labour Party for offering him to him the platform to contest and come to the House, he said he was joining the APC to team up with the President to deliver the dividends of democracy to the Nigerian people.
Last week, Four members of the Labour Party (LP) and a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have dumped their parties for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The LP lawmakers that defected to APC include Tochukwu Chinedu Okere (Imo), Donatus Matthew (Kaduna), Akiba Bassey (Cross River) and Esosa Iyawe (Edo).
