Two Abia State Assembly members defect from PDP to Labour Party, citing internal PDP issues.

Emmanuel Ihuoma Emereuwa and Lucky Nweke Johnson, both Abia State Assembly members, have left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the Labour Party (LP). Emereuwa cited deep divisions within PDP and admiration for Governor Alex Otti, while Johnson left due to PDP's internal crises and support for Otti. Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State denied rumors of a rift between Governor Francis Nwifuru and Minister David Umahi, emphasizing their good relationship and the party's efforts to reinvigorate unity among members.
