Three members of the House of Representatives from Katsina State have resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The lawmakers are Rep. Balarabe Dabayi (Bakori/Danja Constituency), Rep. Aliyu Iliyasu (Batsari/Safana/Danmusa Constituency), and Rep. Salisu Majigiri (Mashi/Dutsi Federal Constituency).

Their defection was announced during a plenary session, where Speaker of the House, Rep. Tajudeen Abbas, formally declared them as the newest members of the APC.

In their separate letters of resignation, read by the speaker, the lawmakers cited the ongoing internal crisis within the PDP as the reason for their departure.

The highlight of the event was the presence of Katsina State Governor, Umar Dikko Radda, who attended in a show of solidarity. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
