HEAVY pressure is being mounted on returning members of the Action Congress of Nigeria in the House of Representatives from the South-West to defect to the Peoples Democratic Party.
Investigations showed that this pressure is coming from some powerful stalwarts of the PDP in the South West who want to shore up the numerical strength of the PDP House members from the zone in a bid to enhance the zone’s chances of retaining the seat of the Speaker of the House.
At the moment, there are three PDP House members from the zone in the House, namely, Ajibola Muraina, Mulikat Adeola and Odebunmi Dokun.
The development came as politicians from the South-East and the South-West spent the weekend lobbying to clinch the number four position in the country.
