Fresh Storm Hits PDP as Six Rivers Reps Defect to APC

Six members of the Rivers State House of Representatives have defected from the PDP to the APC, including Solomon Bob, Victor Obuzor, Bless Amadi, Felix Nweke, Martin Amaewhule, Bonifac Emerengwa, Boma Goodhead, and Awaji Nombet. This move follows the recent defection of the state governor from the PDP to the APC, reshaping the political landscape in Rivers State.

The defections have significantly weakened the PDP's position in the state legislature, with the APC gaining ground. The political realignment is expected to impact alliances ahead of the 2027 elections.
