The Nigeria Democratic Congress is set to become the main opposition political party in the Edo State House of Assembly as members of the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party have defected to the party.
The Edo NDC Chairman, Babatunde Olukoga, in a letter to the Assembly, asked Speaker Blessing Agbebaku to acknowledge the defection of three members from their former political parties to the NDC.
Olukoga listed the affected lawmakers as Charity Aiguobarhueghian, representing Ovia North-East I Constituency; Natasha Osawaru, representing Egor Constituency; and Omosigho Frank, representing Oredo East Constituency.
The letter nominated Osawaru as the new Minority Leader, while Omosigho was nominated as Minority Whip. Related News Alia kicks as Ortom vows to expose rot, looting in Benue Reps minority caucus sets Gbajabiamila’s legacy as benchmark Opposition demands probe over Borno ₦4bn rail project error
“This is to notify the Edo State House of Assembly of the defection of three members to the NDC. We are also informing the House of those that have been nominated as officers of the minority in the Assembly,” Olukoga stated.
