One Of 27 Rivers Lawmakers Loyal To Wike, Makes U-turn By Returning To PDP From APC

One of the 27 Rivers State House of Assembly members who defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Hon. Linda Somari Stewart, has made a U-turn.

On Monday, 27 members of the House of Assembly said to be loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and immediate governor of the state, Nyesom Wike, defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC.

The lawmakers announced their defection at the plenary, citing division in the PDP as the reason for the move.

A source told SaharaReporters on Wednesday that Stewart, the lawmaker representing Okrika in the State Assembly “made a U-turn as the seats of the defectors were about to be declared vacant”.

Her defection means Stewart has moved from Wike’s camp to Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s camp.

SaharaReporters earlier reported on Wednesday that a five-member faction of the State House of Assembly headed by Edison Ehie and loyal to Governor Fubara had passed the 2024 budget proposal submitted by the governor.

The State Executive Council, on Monday, approved the estimated budget of over N800 billion, tagged by the governor as the ‘Budget of Renewed Hope, Consolidation, and Continuity’ for the 2024 fiscal year.

The faction on Wednesday moved the house plenary session to the Government House, Port Harcourt.

This comes amid the ongoing demolition of the assembly complex by Governor Fubara’s administration.

The five lawmakers who sat at plenary on Wednesday received the state’s 2024 budget proposal submitted by Governor Fubara for their review.

The other faction of lawmakers loyal to Wike and led by Martin Amaewhule had initiated impeachment proceedings against Governor Fubara, but the move failed.

They would have decamped by sets and at different times. Maybe a set of five, then ten after about two weeks. This gives them a stake in the Government. But the mass defection has rendered them political orphans. Wike has started loosing the political game and will surely loose out. Remember that the majority in APC are afraid of Wike and are always willing and ready to have him out of the system. But Wike appears to be getting better and stronger through controversial situations.

Like I have previously stated. Even the Nigerians complaining about bad govt don't really care about good governance, what they really care about is that the person they support is in charge.
Just listen to all these NL wailing wailers. How can you support 5 members against 27? Just imagine if 5 members tried to impeach this Governor, these same people will be crying how illegal that it. They will be crying that this is the end of democracy.
But just because they don't like Wikez they are are willing to support a Governor setting the assembly on fire, they are ok with 5 members controlling the assembly and against a clear majority of 27. They are even ok with a Governor demolishing the house of assembly just to prevent the 27 members from doing what they are legally allowed to do under the law.
Now you can see that even the wailing wailers don't care about what is right or what is wrong, as long as the side they support is winning according to them.
If and when Wike and his own gang start to fo their own illegalities, then social media will be filled with cries of democracy is dead blah blah blah. HYPOCRITES.
