Two APC lawmakers defect to SDP over primary election outcome in Nasarawa

The Speaker, Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Dr Danladi Jatau, has announced the defection of two All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers to the opposition Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the state.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the two lawmakers are Mohammed Omadefu (Keana) and Jacob Kudu (Nasarawa Eggon East).

The Speaker announced their resignation from the APC in separate letters submitted to him by the two lawmakers during the House proceedings on Tuesday in Lafia.

Jatau, while reading their letters, said the duo cited ill-treatment they suffered during the just-concluded APC primaries in the state.

“Some of us have accepted the outcome of the APC primaries in good faith.
