In his letter, Onyewuchi, representing Imo East Senatorial District, cited the crisis within the Labour Party as the reason for his departure. He emphasized that his decision aligns with constitutional principles.
Following his announcement, Onyewuchi was warmly welcomed by APC lawmakers and escorted to take his seat at the APC wing of the Senate Chambers. His defection now brings the number of APC Senators from Imo State to three.”
