The lawmaker representing the Egbado North/Imeko Afon Federal Constituency of Ogun State, Jimoh Aremu, has moved from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

As gathered by EKO HOT BLOG, the defection was announced by the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, while reading a letter from the lawmaker on Wednesday.

Aremu cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ with his political party. He added that moving to the ruling APC will ensure his constituents get the “dividend of dem

ocracy.”

The Deputy Minority Leader, Toby Okechukwu (PDP, Aninri/Awgu/Oji River Federal Constituency of Enugu State), while protesting the defection, said the reasons given for the defection were contradictory.

Gbajabiamila interrupted Okechukwu, and called him an interloper.
