The lawmakers announced their resignation in two separate letters to the green chambers which were read on the floor of the House by Speaker Yakubu Dogara.
This came less than 24 hours after another two members of the APC in the House – Babatunde Kolawale (Ondo) and Mukaila Kazzim (Ogun) – announced their resignation from the party.
The members, who left the party at Thursday plenary, are Ahmed Abu and Friday Olemija.
Abu, who represents Mokwa/Edati/Lavun Federal Constituency in Niger State, defected to the Social Democratic Party while Olemija, who represents Akoko North East/North West Federal Constituency of Ondo State, left for the Action Alliance.
In their letters, both lawmakers made references to irreconcilable issues relating to the party’s primaries as part of the reasons for the resignation and defection.
The legislators said after due consultations with their constituents, it was time for them to part ways with the APC.
