Their defections were made known during the plenary on Thursday, in a letter read by the Speaker of the House, Uche Ugwu, at the Assembly Legislative Complex.
The lawmakers expressed displeasure over what they described as existence of irreconcilable division, and ongoing crisis within the LP at the national level, and across all the state chapters.
The letter reads “Regrettably, the party has evolved into a state of perpetual discord with various factions embroiled in legal battles, thereby undermining its ability to effectively serve the interest of the people.”
“The LP once a beacon of hope for progressive ideas has regrettably become synonymous with internal squabbles, thereby reducing its capacity to fulfil the aspirations of electorates.”
