A member of the House of Representatives on the platform of the Labour Party, Fom Daniel Chollom, on Tuesday announced his defection to the All Progressives Congress, (APC).
Chollom who represents the Barkin Ladi/Riyom Federal Constituency in Plateau State in a letter read during plenary by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen, cited the leadership crisis in the LP and his desire to support the President in national development as reasons for his decision.
According to him, the party’s internal conflicts had made it difficult for him to align with any faction, hindering his ability to deliver effective representation.
He said that he has reflected deeply on the leadership crisis in the Labour Party and came to the conclusion that he will better serve the interest of his people within the fold of the All Progressives Congress.
While appreciating the Labour Party for offering him the platform to contest and come to the House, the defector said he was joining the APC to team up with the President to deliver the dividends of democracy to the Nigerian people.
