The All Progressives Congress (APC) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have lost one member each to other parties in the House of Representatives.
The two members: Akinlaja Joseph who represents Ondo East/West federal constituency of Ondo State and Olatoye Temitope representing Lagelu / Akinyele Federal Constituency of Oyo State announced their defection on the floor of the House on Thursday.
While Mr Akinlaja defected to the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), his colleague Mr Temitope moved to the Action Democratic Party (ADP).
The defection of the duo is the first since the House resumed from a two-month recess.
It would be recalled that shortly before the House commenced its annual recess in August, dozens of members, mostly from the ruling APC defected to other parties.
