Defection: Imo speaker, deputy, 15 other lawmakers may lose positions for joining APC

At various times since 2019, the lawmakers in question defected to the All Progressives Congress from the Peoples Democratic Party, Action Alliance and the All Progressives Grand Alliance, respectively.

A court judgement on Monday also sacked 20 members of the Cross River State House of Assembly who defected with the Governor of the State, Ben Ayade, from the PDP to the APC. The case was instituted by the Legal Defence and Assistance Project, Chijioke Nwachukwu, Chibuzo Ekene, and Mmerole Modestus against the State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Clerk of the Imo State House of Assembly, the Independent National Electoral Commission, Attorney General of the Federation, a former speaker of the state House of Assembly, Collins Chiji, and the current Deputy Speaker, Amarachi Iwuanyanwu, and 15 other lawmakers.

Former Speaker, Collins Chiji, representing Isiala Mbano, had abandoned his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance, under whose platform he got to the House and declared for PDP, which won the 2019 governorship election in order to grab the speakership.
