In a letter addressed to the Speaker of the Place of Delegates, Tajudeen Abass, Illiya faulted the authority emergency inside the LP for his deserting to APC.

Two days prior, one more LP part, Daniel Chollom, deserted to the APC.

Chollom, in a letter read during whole by the Speaker, refered to the Work Party’s initiative emergency and his craving to help the President in public improvement as purposes behind his choice.

Four different individuals from the Place of Delegates from the LP had before abandoned to the APC.

Responding to the turn of events, LP’s Public Exposure Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, said Iliya carried disrespect to himself by surrendering to APC.

In an explanation, Ifoh said: “The initiative of the Work Party again got with alarm fresh insight about the disloyalty of individuals of Jos South/Jos East by Mr. Akangbe Illiya, a man whom the Work Party and individuals of Level State depended with their aggregate expectations and desires for a fair and impartial society through regulation.

“Hon. Illiya who just engraved his name on the Work Party ‘Corridor of Disgrace’ Register has carried disrespect to himself through this activity.

“While it is actually the case that the constitution ensures residents the right to opportunity of affiliation, the constitution qualifies such privileges in regards to the enrollment of ideological groups.”

Ifoh added that the law doesn’t safeguard a person who takes the order of an ideological group just to hurry to one more party without “first giving up the command he underhandedly obtained”.

He added: “This, deserting like comparative ones preceding it is very sad and condemnable.

“Segment 68(g) of the 1999 constitution is insistent on when to surrender and what happens when a legislator supported by an ideological group chooses to escape.

“It is superfluous testing why the greater part of the deserters picked the All Moderates Congress (APC) as their objective point and why the Speaker of the Place of Agents, Hon Tajudeen Abass has wouldn’t regard the arrangements of the constitution by announcing their seats empty.

“Be that as it may, those lawmakers who have decided to forsake individuals at this critical time in their lives are the ones who merit feel sorry for in light of the fact that they have uncovered themselves as disgraceful of our aggregate trust proceeding.

“In the mean time, the Party has since filled activities in the court to propel the Public Gathering administration to pronounce the seats of the abandoned Work Party legislators empty. The suit likewise looks for that each compensation, remittance or honors got, from the date of absconding, be returned.”
