Linda Somari Stewart, a member of the Rivers State House of Assembly representing Okrika, has reversed her decision to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Stewart, along with other members of the House, has returned to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The defection had initially seen 27 state lawmakers, purportedly loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, making the switch to the APC. This move led to the Speaker of the House declaring their seats vacant.
The political landscape in Rivers State has been marked by a series of intense confrontations, primarily involving the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and the incumbent Governor, Sim Fubara.
Stewart’s U-turn adds a layer of intrigue to the ongoing political dynamics in the state. The reverberations of these political shifts are sure to impact the power dynamics within the State Assembly, setting the stage for further developments and potential realignments.
As the situation unfolds, observers keenly await the next chapter in the unfolding political drama in Rivers State.
