The political crisis rocking Rivers State House of Assembly took a new dimension on Monday as 27 out of the 31 lawmakers in the state defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The defected lawmakers cited divisions within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as reason for their defection, Punch newspaper reported.
In a video of the defection, the lawmakers could be seen waving the APC flag and chanting “on your mandate we shall stand,” the campaign song of President Bola Tinubu.
The defection came about two weeks after the former governor of the state who is now the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike told reporters that 27 lawmakers in the state were opposing the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
