Twenty-two members of the Delta State House of Assembly, including the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor, have officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The mass defection occurred during Tuesday’s plenary session. Speaker Guwor, while announcing the development, disclosed that he had received 22 letters—including his own—formally informing the House of the lawmakers’ decision to leave the PDP for the APC. He explained that their defection was driven by instability in the PDP’s national leadership and the ongoing factional crisis within the party’s South-South zonal executive.
