The Peoples Democratic Party denounced Rivers State lawmakers who defected to the All Progressives Congress as “enemies of democracy.” PDP National Publicity Secretary Comrade Ini Ememobong stated their actions mock the legislature and follow a “demigod’s” bidding.
Seventeen lawmakers, led by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, announced their defection on Friday, attributing their move to factionalization within the PDP. This marks a second such announcement by the group.
