Rivers State House of Assembly Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).
JomogNews reports that Amaewhule defected along with 15 other members of the House on Friday.
He announced the decision on Friday in the state’s House of Assembly during a plenary session.
Amaewhule said the defection is due to clear division in the PDP.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu declared a state of emergency in the state earlier this year in March, suspending the Governor, Sim Fubara and his Deputy alongside members of the State Assembly.
He, however, lifted the suspension six months later in September.
