Before his defection, Nwogu served as the Deputy Whip of the House.
The Speaker, Emmanuel Emeruwa, formally announced their letters of defection to the Labour Party during the session.
In their statements, Nwogu and Ahuama expressed their full support for the administration led by Alex Otti, citing the Labour Party’s commitment to justice and fair play as their primary reason for switching allegiance.
Reports indicate that the YPP had previously suspended both lawmakers due to alleged anti-party activities.
