Simon Lalong, governor of Plateau state, stormed the house of representatives on Wednesday to witness the defection of Edward Pwajock, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member from Plateau, to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the house of reps, read Pwajock’s letter in plenary on Wednesday.

Pwajock, representing Jos east/south federal constituency of Plateau state, said he left his former party because of the crisis there.

Reacting, Leo Ogor, minority leader of the house, faulted Pwajock’s excuse for citing factions in the PDP as an excuse for defecting.

Speaking with journalists after the announcement was made, the lawmaker said his constituents have been clamouring for his defection due to the PDP’s crisis.
