The Senators are: Francis Ezenwa Onyewusi representing Imo East Senatorial district and Haliru Dauda Jika representing Bauchi Central Senatorial district. Their defection was made known by the Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan during a plenary on Wednesday. While Senator Francis Onyewusi who is a first-timer to the Senate was a member of the Peoples Democratic Party and defected to Labour Party , his counterpart in Bauchi was a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress before he defected to the New Nigeria Peoples Party .
The defected Senators cited injustice and inequity in their former political parties that made them fail the primary elections.
