The Senator representing Nasarawa South Senatorial District, Ogoshi Onawo, has defected from the African Democratic Congress to the Allied Peoples Movement, less than two weeks after joining the party.
The Deputy Senate President, Jibrin Barau, read Onawo’s letter of defection during Tuesday’s plenary.
In the letter, the lawmaker said he resigned his membership of the ADC in Galadima Ward, Doma Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, with effect from June 15.
According to Onawo, the decision followed extensive consultations with his constituents, political associates and other key stakeholders.
“This decision is the outcome of careful reflection and wide-ranging consultations with my constituents, political associates, and other critical stakeholders,” the letter read.
