PDP Faces Setback as Bayelsa Deputy Governor and Senator Plan to Defect to ADC

In a significant political development, Bayelsa's Deputy Governor, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, and Senator Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa West) are rumored to be defecting from the PDP to the ADC. This move is seen as a boost for Atiku Abubakar's camp.

The defection is expected to shake up the political dynamics in Bayelsa State, with speculations rife about Dickson's influence in ADC. The ADC, reportedly eyeing federal lawmakers ahead of the 2023 elections, has faced legal challenges, including a suit seeking its deregistration.

Former Senate President David Mark has promised support to lawmakers who defect to the ADC, adding more intrigue to the unfolding political saga.
