Offor, who is the House Minority Leader, said he consulted his family before taking the decision to join APC.

He said: “It is time I join the party at the centre so that my constituents can feel and experience the presence of the ruling party.”

Egbuna also revealed that he joined the ruling party after several consultations.

With this development, APC now has six members in the House, leaving PDP and APGA with four and 20 members respectively.
