Similar to what happened in the Senate Chambers, the Green Chambers (House of Representatives), Tuesday, witnessed a convulsion as thirty seven of its members defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, who announced the movement of the legislators during plenary, said that of the number, thirty three defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) while four moved over to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Fifteen Senators had earlier defected from the APC to the PDP, changing the calculations in the National Assembly.
Members of the House of Representatives had earlier welcomed the Speaker with loud acclaim when he arrived for the day’s session as a way of endorsing his leadership.
