Five members of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) informed the House of representative that they have joined the main opposition party, All Progressives Congress (APC).
Since the primaries of the PDP, a lot of grumblings had been going on due to the members inability to click the ticket into the various offices they vied for.
The defection of the lawmakers may not be unconnected to the grieviances of the reps who think that after their effort to support President Jonathan, hoping it would secure their seat in their aspirations, end up in emptiness as they could not return to the house.
Ironically, as five members of the PDP announced their defection, five members of the APC also dumped their parties for the Social Democratic Party. The group were known supporters of the former Governor of Ogun State, Mr. Segun Osoba, who is the SDP financier.
Among those who defected to SDP were 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.
