In his letter, Hon. Umeha attributed his defection to the lingering crisis, leadership tussle, and instability in the Labour Party.
The Chairman of the APC in Enugu State, Mr Ugochukwu Agballa, was present in the chamber to witness Hon. Umeha’s defection.
With Thursday’s development, the total number of officially documented defections in the House since July 2024 now stands at 28.
Of this number, the APC has emerged as the chief beneficiary, having received 25 new members into its fold.
