Deputy National Chairman (North) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Ali Dalori, the party’s National Vice Chairman (South-south), Hon. Victor Giadom, and other national officers on Tuesday stormed the House of Representatives to witness the defection of six Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers to the ruling party.
The defectors include Hon. Robinson Dekor, Hon. Bob Solomon, Hon. Hart Cyril, Hon. Victor Obuzor, Hon. Blessing Amadi and Hon. Felix Uche.
In their separate letters, read by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen on Tuesday, the lawmakers cited “irreconcilable differences” and internal divisions within their former party, as well as their desire to support President Bola Tinubu, as reasons for their defections to the APC.
The defections came on the heels of the recent dumping of the PDP to APC by the Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara.
Only last week, four members of the House from Rivers State defected from their respective political parties to the APC.
They include Hon. Awaji Inombek (PDP), Hon.Boma Goodhead (PDP), Hon. Manuchim Umezurike (LP) and Hon. Boniface Emerengwa (PDP).
