FCT, Abuja – The Labour Party (LP) has fumed over the defection of four members in the House of Representatives to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
TimesNow.com.ng recalls that four Labour Party (LP) house of representatives members left the party to join the APC.
The party said it would instruct its legal team to commence legal actions against the four defectors.
Obiora Ifoh, LP’s spokesperson disclosed that the party will commence the process of regaining its mandates.
Ifoh stated this in a statement issued via the party’s X handle (formerly known as Twitter) on Thursday, December 5.
He said the party leadership is undaunted by the defection but will not allow it to slide.
He disclosed that the Labour Party will open a ‘Hall of Shame’ register for the defectors.
Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Kenneth Imansuangbon, a former governorship aspirant of the Labour Party in Edo state resigned from the party.
