Amaewhule disclosed the lawmakers’ choice throughout Friday’s plenary, attributing their defection to what he referred to as a “clear division” throughout the PDP.
“Distinguished colleagues, very fortunately, let me announce that your Speaker has determined, and has certainly written to my ward chairman of my choice, to depart the PDP. APC is my new social gathering,” Amaewhule stated.
Amaewhule’s Deputy, Dumle Maol, is among the 16 lawmakers that joined APC as effectively.
All of the lawmakers, who’ve jumped ship, are core loyalists of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Chief Nyesom Wike.
It might be recalled that Wike, amongst others, have been not too long ago expelled from the PDP by management of the social gathering over his alleged anti-party actions.
