The Deputy Speaker, Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Mr Godiya Akwashiki, on Wednesday announced his defection to the All Progressive Congress (APC).

Akwashiki was elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to represent Nassarawa Eggon West constituency at the Assembly.

The lawmaker’s defection was contained in a letter read on the floor of the assembly by the Speaker, Alhaji Ibrahim Abdullahi, on Wednesday in Lafia.

The speaker congratulated Akwashiki for taking the right decision at the right time and assured him of their supports at all the time.

In the letter, Akwashiki hinged his defection on the ongoing leadership crisis in the PDP at the national level.

“The crisis rocking our party at the national level between Sen. Makarfi faction and Sen. Sheriff faction is the reason why I dumped PDP and defected to APC.
