Speaker, 21 lawmakers formally dump PDP for APC in Delta

Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Emomotimi Guwor, along with 21 lawmakers, on Monday formally defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

During plenary, Guwor announced the receipt of 21 letters from members declaring their intention to leave the PDP.

Guwor also announced his letter at the plenary.

He said the decision was reached unanimously, citing unresolved divisions within the PDP’s South South Zonal Executive and the worsening crisis at the party’s national level.

“With this development, the Delta State House of Assembly is now fully an APC House,” the speaker declared.

The mass defection marks a turning point in Delta State politics, significantly shifting the legislative power structure and further weakening the PDP’s longstanding dominance.

It came on the heels of earlier defections by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
