Jerry Alagbaoso, a member of the House of Representatives, has crossed from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the chamber.
Alagbaoso, in a letter read on the floor of the House on Tuesday, said PDP in Imo State was in crisis.
“All is not well in Imo State PDP. This explains why three of our colleagues from Imo State and [of] PDP extraction in the House of Representatives defected to APC a few weeks ago.
“I will not be an exception considering the man-made confusion and headaches of PDP in Imo. What is happening in Imo PDP is not satisfactory to those people (members) and my colleagues who crossed over and it is not also satisfactory to me,” Alagbaoso said.
Reacting to the defection, Speaker Gbajabiamila said the defection was a major earthquake.
