Five members of the PDP, on Tuesday, announced their defection to the APC on the floor of the House of Representatives.

The development was apparently a fallout of the just-concluded primaries of political parties. But, in a twist, five APC members also formerly informed the House that they had joined the Social Democratic Party. The latter group were known supporters of a former Governor of Ogun State, Mr. Segun Osoba, the SDP financier.



Among the defectors were his son, Mr. Olumide Osoba. Among those who left the PDP for the APC was Mr. Ibrahim El-Sudi, the lawmaker who investigated the alleged collapse of the Nigerian Capital Market and recommended the sacking of the DG of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Ms Arunmah Oteh.

The fifth member, Mrs. Aisha Ahmed, defected to the Peoples Democratic Movement.
