As a fallout of the recently concluded primary election of political parties in the country, both the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Caucus in the House of Representatives has again lost one of its members.
After the approval of the votes and proceedings of Tuesday October 24, 2018 sitting, the Speaker Yakubu Dogara announced the defection of two lawmakers from both the APC and PDP to other political parties.
The decampee lawmakers are Hon. Muhammed Musa Soba (Kaduna, APC) and Hon. Hassan Omale (Kogi, PDP).
However, whereas the Kogi born lawmaker didn’t give specific reason for dumping his former party, the Kaduna lawmaker had mentioned sharp practices and other unwholesome activities of his party during its primary election as reasons for exit from the party.
Soba in a letter had informed the House that he was personally shortchanged by the ruling party during the just concluded primary election of the party and expressed regrets that a party he helped to nurture and bring to limelight acted that way.
Again, whereas Omale defected from the opposition PDP to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) his colleague moved from the ruling APC to a yet to be mentioned party.
It would be recalled that the House had recently witnessed a gale of defection in which both the Speaker Hon.Yakubu Dogara and some fourth (40) lawmakers moved from the the ruling APC to PDP and some to other parties.
