A mild drama ensued at the the
floor of the House of Representatives on Thursday as a member of House of
Representatives from Kaduna State, Jagaba Adams Jagaba, defected from the All
Progressives Congress, APC to the People Democratic Party, PDP.
Jagaba, who came to the House under
the ruling APC, had earliar announced in Kaduna that he was dumping the party
to the opposition PDP.
In confirmation of his defection
on Thursday’s plenary, he introduced himself thus: “I’m Hon Jagaba Adams Jagaba
and I’m of the PDP.”
However, The speaker of the House
of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara immediately said: “No, no, Jagaba. You can’t
do this to me.”
Members to the PDP in the house
started chanting their party’s name in jubilation, while members of the APC
shouted “no, no.”
This lasted for a while before
order was restored.
Dogara consequently said, “The
truth is that I’m not aware and the House is not aware. As a ranking member,
you know what to do. So, as far as we’re concerned, you’re still a member of
APC.”
