Bayelsa Deputy Governor Faces Impeachment Threat Over Party Defection

Bayelsa Deputy Governor Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo is facing impeachment for refusing to join Governor Douye Diri in defecting to the APC from the PDP. The political showdown in Bayelsa began after Diri's formal resignation from the PDP.

Ewhrudjakpo sought a court order to stop the impeachment process. Key figures like Heineken Lokpobiri and Samuel Ogbuku have commented on the situation.

Ewhrudjakpo's loyalty to former Governor Seriake Dickson is cited as a reason for his refusal to defect.
