The lawmakers’ decision comes barely a week after Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, defected to the ruling party, further reshaping the state’s political landscape.
Four members of the House of Representatives from Rivers State have officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The lawmakers’ decision comes barely a week after Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, defected to the ruling party, further reshaping the state’s political landscape.
Those who crossed over to the APC are Manuchim Umezuruike, who represents Port Harcourt I Federal Constituency; Boniface Emerengwa of Ikwerre/Emuoha Federal Constituency; Awake-Inombek Abiante, representing Andoni/Opobo Federal Constituency; and Boma Goodhead, the lawmaker for Asari-Toru Federal Constituency.
The development emphasises a growing realignment among Rivers State political actors following recent shifts at the state level.
