Defected Rivers lawmakers can’t return – PDP
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says the 27 lawmakers at the Rivers State House of Assembly who defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, have lost their seats forever.
The party said this in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Debo Ologunagba in Abuja.

Ologunagba said the clarification was necessary following 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.
“Our party therefore stands by its position that the affected members have since lost their seats in the Rivers State House of Assembly having committed an unpardonable constitutional breach.
