Two members of the House of Representatives, Kolawole Babatunde (Ondo) and Mukaila Kazeem (Ogun), have dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara, read letters from the lawmakers announcing their resignations from the APC at the plenary on Wednesday.
While Babatunde joined the Peoples Democratic Party, Kazeem did not name his new party in his letter.
Both lawmakers, however, blamed their resignations on the APC over how the party managed its primaries and fielded its candidates.
