A significant twist unfolded in the ongoing turmoil within the Rivers State House of Assembly as twenty-seven legislators shifted their allegiance from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Citing internal divisions within the PDP as the primary reason, the lawmakers made the decisive move to join the APC, revealing their allegiance to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
The pivotal decision transpired during a Monday morning plenary, reportedly convened around 8 am, held under heightened security at the Assembly complex along Moscow Road in Port Harcourt.
The defection underscores a notable shift in political alliances, amplifying the ongoing political tensions within the state’s legislative domain.
