House of Reps members, Peter Akpanke (PDP) & Nnamchi Paul (LP) Defect To APC by fergie001(mod):
Peter Atianashie Akpanke, a first-term member of the House of Representatives representing Obanliku/Obudu/Bekwarra Federal Constituency of Cross River State has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He announced his defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) today. He further thanked the PDP for allowing him fly the flag but stressed that protracted crisis in the Party had necessitated his defection.


Nnamchi Paul Sunday, a first-term member of the House of Representatives representing Enugu East/Isi-Uzo Federal Constituency of Enugu State also dumped the Labour Party, citing the leadership crisis in the Party.

It can be recalled that Nnamchi, a Professor in the Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Department at the University of Nigeria Nsukka, was sacked by the tribunal before his reinstatement by the Lagos Appeal Court in November 2023. He defected to the APC today.

People still defect to APC? What magic is the party using?

There has to be something the politicians re seeing, the masses are oblivious of.

Anyways 2027 is months away

It's finished.
As everybody don join APC now, who kon remain for other parties.
It's very hard to hear any defection to other parties.
Tinubu is an outright winner of 2027 election.
Forget all this coalition rants

Peter Obi will soon leave LP. Let me see then if you will write what you wrote or shift goal post to defend him and hail him

Na una way be that.

Another ones bite the dust. Opposition is in total daily disarray. The coalition is actually in the APC. Evidently these guys are seeing a party system that works better compared to their own. Atikobi can't unify and solidify ordinary political party, na Nigeria dem won save from cabals and terrorists.

It was never about the people, but their personal interests in the beginning.

They’re seeing the mighty hands of a ruling party that can get whatever it wants, whenever it wants it.
They’re trying to protect their future in politics.

He would have done so long ago.

He’s still fine tuning his defection speech.

Or scared (at the moment) of the backlash.

Someone that vowed to never leave APGA?

Trust politicians at one’s peril…

Akpanke will lock horns in 2027 against the Ex-VC of Unical.

APC seriously going for the 2/3 majority by the 2027 election and they are nearer by the day.

How many do they have in each house now?

Re: House of Reps members, Peter Akpanke (PDP) & Nnamchi Paul (LP) Defect To APC by kelechiodo(m): 2:30pm On Jun 24, 2025
Nnamchi made a big mistake. How he hope to return with APC is baffling. Well, I believe that he wants to gain everything in want in this dispensation as his coming back to house is zero. I hope for his sake, he collected enough

Of course 2027 is between APC and we Nigerians as Ibo people used to say as if these people decamping to Apc are Somalians. Let's wait and see how their paperweight Messiah Elrufai and his Co-Ole-sion will perform their allucination
Re: House of Reps members, Peter Akpanke (PDP) & Nnamchi Paul (LP) Defect To APC by BigBreezeBabs(m): 2:38pm On Jun 24, 2025
How will Pitobi lobby for VP in 2031 if he doesn't defect?
But the question is, will the Obidients still follow him there blindly? grin

They were fighting for it as well but in their domains but Onyejeocha was smarter and got it done under Buhari. It's situated in her husband's village.

Those two were more concentrated on who will be the VC of the sole Federal Varsity in the State.
