The Adamawa House of Assembly on Monday said it has no information on the alleged defection of some lawmakers from the All Progressives Congress to the Peoples Democratic Party.
The Chairman of the House Standing Committee on Information, Alhaji Abubakar Isa, made this known while speaking with newsmen in Yola.
Isa was reacting to Saturday’s claimed by the state chapter of the PDP that three serving lawmakers and eight commissioners had joined the party.
He said so far only member representing Lamurde Constituency under the Social Democratic Party, Justina Nkom had informed the house of her defection to the PDP.
Isa said: “At the plenary today, it was only the SDP lawmaker representing Lamurde that stood up to inform the house of her defection to the PDP.
“As far as we are concerned, she is the only lawmaker that defected.”
Also speaking in a separate interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on the issue, the state’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Malam Ahmad Sajoh, said he was only aware of resignation of the Commissioner of Commerce Alhaji Umar Daware from the state executive council.
Sajoh said: “The State Government only received the resignation letter of the Commissioner of Commerce.”
