House of Representatives member from Rivers State, Manuchim Umezuruike, has defected from the APC to the ADC, months after joining the ruling party. The lawmaker is currently attending the ADC convention in Abuja.
Manuchim, an ally of Governor Fubara during the political crisis in Rivers State, was part of the four Rep members who defected to the APC to support Governor Fubara in his bid to take over the structure of the APC in Rivers State.
The other Rep members who defected with Manuchim to the APC in December 2025 are Hon Boniface Emerengwa, Hon Awaji Abiante, and Hon Boma Goodhead.
There are rumours that none of them will be getting a return ticket due to their support for Governor Fubara over FCT Minister Nyesom Wike during the Rivers political crisis.
