The crisis rocking the Rivers State House of Assembly on Monday took a different dimension as 27 lawmakers loyal to the FCT Minister and ex-Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike dumped the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Lawmakers led by factional Speaker, Rt. Hon. Martins Amaehwule announced their defection from the PDP to the APC during plenary on Monday.
