DELTA ASSEMBLY SPEAKER, 21 PDP LAWMAKERS DEFECT TO APC.

The Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Dennis Guwor, and 21 other PDP lawmakers have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC). 

The defection, which was announced during plenary on Tuesday, makes the assembly a one-party legislature with all 29 members now belonging to APC.

Guwor cited extensive consultations with constituents and political leaders as the reason for the defection, stating that it aligns with Section 109 of the 1999 Constitution. 

He also expressed commitment to partnering with the federal government to deliver development to Delta State.

According to him, the defection was driven by instability within the PDP national leadership and divisions within the South-South Zonal Executive Committee, leading to internal conflicts and disunity, and the lawmakers believe that joining APC will enable them to work more effectively with the federal government.
