Three House of Representatives members from Imo State have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), which is in power and has more than 3,000 followers.
At the party on Monday in Owerri’s Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu Square, Imo Governor Hope Uzodinma welcomed the defectors.
Prior to the state’s November 11 governorship elections, the federal lawmakers—among them Hon. Ikenna Elezieanya, Hon. Bede Ekeh, Hon. Henry Nwawuba, and a host of others—made the decision.

In addition, Governor Uzodinma exhorted all Imo children, whatever of their political membership, to work with him to bring prosperity to Ndi Imo.
