Ahead of the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State, no fewer than 12 members of the State House of Assembly have reportedly dumped the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This is coming on the heels of the recent defection of Senator Stella Oduah, an Anambra PDP strong voice to the APC.
It was gathered that the 12 lawmakers had met secretly in Abuja with some APC leaders from Anambra State.
It was further gathered that other secret meetings were held held with APC leaders in the state, where conditions and agreements were reached.
