Senator Francis Oyewuchi has defected from the Labour Party (LP) to the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC). The senator attributed his decision to ongoing internal crises and a perceived lack of vision within the Labour Party.

During a press interaction with journalists, Senator Francis expressed his readiness to face any charges the Labour Party might bring against him. His statement came in response to a letter from the Labour Party demanding the Senate President declare his seat vacant.

Senator Francis criticized the Labour Party's leadership and direction, stating that the unresolved issues and absence of a clear vision led to his defection.

His move to the APC marks a notable change in the political landscape and has sparked considerable discussion about the stability and future of the Labour Party.
