25 Pro-Amaechi Lawmakers Dump PDP and Declare For APC

States controlled by APC are beginning to take measures to checkmate the desperation of the Presidency to take out their governors with a view to giving President Goodluck Jonathan an undue advantage in 2015.

25 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, loyal to Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has formally declared for the ruling party in Rivers State, the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking during a session, House Leader, Hon. Chidi Lloyd, said they had ceased to be members of the PDP, adding that further correspondence to them should bear the APC.

In his words: “The 25 pro-Amaechi lawmakers have asked me to declare our formal defection to All Progressives Congress. Henceforth, 25 of us should be referred to as All Progressives Congress members. We are telling the world today that we are all members of APC.”
