Two Abia Lawmakers Dump YPP For LP

In their defection letters to the Speaker, Emmanuel Emeruwa, on Tuesday, the lawmakers said they were expelled from the YPP for anti-party activities owing to their support for the present administration in the state.

Two members of Young Progressive Party (YPP) in the Abia State of Assembly have joined the ruling Labour Party (LP).

The defected lawmakers are Iheanacho Nwogu representing Osisioma North State Constituency and Fine Ahuama, representing Osisioma South State Constituency.

In their defection letters to the Speaker, Emmanuel Emeruwa, on Tuesday, the lawmakers said they were expelled from the YPP for anti-party activities owing to their support for the present administration in the state.

The lawmakers said leaving the YPP would enable them to join Governor Alex Otti in deepening democracy at the grassroots for the benefit of their constituents.

They pledged to be loyal party men in their new party.
