A strong member of Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Jonathan Gaza, who is a member of the House of Representatives, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC)
Jonathan Gaza was the last
PDP member from Nasarawa State in the House before he decamped on Wednesday.
The governor of Nasarawa State, Abdulahi Sule, was present to
witness his defection.
The governor was at the green chamber, alongside two former
governors of the state, Tanko Almakura and Abdulahi Adamu, who are both serving
senators.
In a letter read by Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, Mr Gaza cited
division in the state chapter of the PDP as the reason for decamping.
This is the fifth member this week to move from the PDP to the
APC. On Tuesday, four members from Zamfara State announced their defections.
There was no protest from the minority bench, as both the Minority
Leader, Ndudi Elumelu and his deputy, Toby Okechukwu, were not available to
raise any protest.
