PDP insists 27 defectors can’t return to Rivers Assembly

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said on Friday the 27 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly who defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) have lost their seats forever.

The party stated this in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba in Abuja.

Ologunagba said the clarification followed a mischievous report on social media claiming that there were plots to compromise the party’s position to return the defected lawmakers to their seats.
