24 Akwa Ibom Lawmakers Dump PDP for APC in Major Assembly Shake-Up

The Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly has witnessed a significant political shift as 24 out of its 26 legislators have defected from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaker of the House, Udeme Otong, made the announcement during Tuesday’s plenary session, revealing that he had received formal resignation letters from the 24 lawmakers. 

The defectors cited unresolved internal conflicts within the PDP’s National Working Committee as the reason behind their exit.
