Hon. Edward Pwajok

Member representing Jos South/East Federal Constituency of Plateau State in the House of Representatives, Edward Pwajok, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)  to the ruling  All Progressives Congress (APC).

In his letter of defection which was read on the floor of the house by the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, Pwajok stated that he was asked by members of his constituency to defect because of the lingering leadership tussle in the PDP, from the national level down to his ward.

Reacting, the Executive Governor of Plateau state, Rt. Hon. Simon Lalong, who was present at the plenary to welcome Pwajok, stated that more lawmakers in the state have concluded plans to dump the PDP in no distant time.

“Edward has opened the gate, very soon, you will see more of them. From the way things are going, before the end of the year, we may not have a substantial minority in Nigeria,” Lalong said.
