All Delta State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, House of Representatives members have officially defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Their defection was made public by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, during plenary on Tuesday.

Recall that former Delta State governor, Ifeanyi Okowa and his successor, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, had dumped the PDP for the APC.

Oborevwori and Okowa announced their defection during a stakeholders meeting in Asaba, Delta State.

Following their defections, the House of Representatives member from Ideato Federal constituency of Imo State, Ikenga Ugochinyere, had disclosed that two more state governors and 40 lawmakers on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will soon defect.

However, former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, had said the PDP would be repositioned despite the defections, stressing that those who want to defect are free to leave.
