Yusuf Galambi, a member of the House of Representatives, has defected from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Gatekeepers News reports that the announcement was made by Tajudeen Abbas, the Speaker of the House, who read Galambi’s defection letter on the floor of the lower legislative chamber on Thursday,
Galambi, who represents the Gwaram federal constituency of Jigawa state, cited a “directive” from his constituency as the reason for his decision to join the APC.
He also attributed his departure from the NNPP to the party’s ongoing leadership crisis.
Galambi’s defection marks the latest in a series of opposition federal lawmakers who have joined the APC.
