TRACKING___Nine lawmakers in Imo State House of Assembly have reportedly defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Vanguard reports that more lawmakers were likely to move to APC.
The defection started around 1:30 pm when the Speaker of the House, read the letters of the decampees on the floor of the House.
Apart from the announcement of the defectors, the speaker announced the screening of the Attorney General of Imo State, Cyprain Akaolisa, as appointed by the governor, Hope Uzodinma.
