BREAKING: Six PDP reps defect to APC

Six lawmakers elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the house of representatives have formally joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The lawmakers are Dumnamene Dekor, who represents Khana/Gokana, Solomon Bob of Abua/Odual and Ahoada east, and Hart Cyril from Degema/Bonny.

Also listed are Victor Obuzor representing Ahoada west/Ogba-Egbema/Ndoni, Blessing Amadi of Port Harcourt II, and Felix Nweke from Eleme/Oyigbo/Tai.

The development comes shortly after Siminalyi Fubara, governor of Rivers state, announced his departure from the PDP to the APC on December 5, 2025.

Earlier, 15 members of the Rivers state house of assembly, including Martin Amaewhule, the speaker, had also exited the PDP for the APC.
