Four members of the House of Representatives from Rivers State loyal to Governor Siminalayi Fubara, have defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n

The lawmakers are:<\/p>\n

1. Hon. Awaji-Inombek Abiante, representing Andoni\/Opobo\/Nkoro Federal Constituency<\/p>\n

2. Hon. Boniface Emerengwa, representing Ikwerre\/Emuoha Federal Constituency<\/p>\n

3. Hon. Boma Goodhead, representing Asari-Toru Federal Constituency<\/p>\n

4. Hon. Manuchim Umezuruike, representing Port Harcourt I Federal Constituency<\/p>\n

Their defection was formally announced on the floor of the House of Representatives, marking a significant political development in Rivers State\u2019s evolving political landscape.<\/p>\n

The move is widely viewed as a major boost for the APC in the state and a notable shift amid ongoing political realignments ahead of future electoral contests. It also deepens the political recalibration linked to Governor Fubara\u2019s influence and support base.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
