Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Collins Chiji, has defected to the All Progressives Congress from the Peoples Democratic Party.

Seven other lawmakers equally joined the ruling APC from the PDP.

The speaker announced his defection and that of his colleagues during a plenary on Tuesday, The PUNCH reports.

The plenary, which lasted for 15 minutes, came to an end after the speaker announced the names of the defecting lawmakers.

Apart from the speaker, others who defected are Uche Ogbuagu (Ikeduru), Dominic Ezerioha (Oru West) Chigozie Nwaneri(Oru East), Kanayo Onyemaechi (Owerri West), Kennedy Ibe (Obowo) Onyemaechi Njoku (Ihitte/Uboma), and Eddy Obinna (Aboh Mbaise).

With the defections, APC now has 18 lawmakers with PDP having eight in the Imo State House of Assembly.

Uju Onwudiwe (Njaba), who was declared the winner of the supplementary election held Saturday, on Action Alliance platform, is yet to be sworn-in by the speaker.

The Speaker obviously did this to retain his seat. The only loyalty politicians have is to their ambitions

One thing is certain, should Supreme Court reverses self ( which is unlikely) on the Imo,these men will still port back to PDP.

One day when you people are tired of lying to yourselves, you will leave your comfort zones & ask regular Nigerians below the age of 30 what they are going through.

Nigeria is shit to young people, many people have given up, everywhere red. We are living in a Timebomb.

Young graduates leave school, do NYSC, do certifications. Some even go for masters. But to get a job, you have to write aptitude tests harder than JAMB with a thousand other people for just 10 slots.

You think that shit is normal? I know someone who wrote ten tests last year.

If some of us reveal what goes on in our DMs, you will cry. Young people are going through middle age Crisis levels of shit.

But poverty is the least concern of your leaders. That's why they send their rats like Tolu & Ovie Alli to cook up lies for you lot to digest.

It's 5 years since Buhari was elected.

Purchasing powered is nearly halved, middle class is nearly nonexistent & When you want to make it entrepreneurially. Govt can bring a policy to make your business redundant.

One day una go talk true, E never hook una yet, I'm disgusted.

The ban on Okada will increase the rate of crime in Lagos pls be careful out there. This ban on Okada & Keke is really wrong & such a bad timing. It will give rise to more hooligans & kidnapping, people will start stealing & robbing each other in a short term if alternatives is not provided soon.

I started a conversation with this Bike Man and I asked what he thought about the Ban on Bikes, Man said “Nothing to do, we go start to kidnap their children and chook them for Belle and everybody go collect” In my mind Which of their children?The ones schooling in the Abroad?
Anyways, the govt need to rethink the ban because it will affect many families. There's no job and many people are surviving and feeding their family from Okada.The govt need to do better. Ehn?! You say? Oga Drop me pls I’m not the one that Banned Okada shocked

Sounds funny but it isn’t really. I know how many times Bike has saved me from missing many appointments in the terrible Lagos traffic

Most of us will end up late to work and Nigerian HR will not hear that there is Traffic. Wish our voices could be louder

“With the defections, APC now has 18 lawmakers with PDP having eight in the Imo State House of Assembly”

Some of the remaining 8 PDP members will probably move to APC in few weeks time too.

Inside life!

Shame! Shame!! Shame!!! With this attitude Nigeria can never move forward. It’s high time the law on defection should be looked into.. u don’t wake up one morning and jump from one party to another like u elected yourself.
I see this as a disrespect to their constituents because I can bet my balls that they never consulted with their people before this act.
