Rivers: Pro-Wike Lawmakers Withdraw Affidavit Confirming Defection to APC
Rivers State – Pro-Wike lawmakers, led by Hon. Martin Chike Amaewhule, have discreetly withdrawn a portion of the affidavit submitted to the Federal High Court in Abuja, confirming their defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The lawmakers appeared in court to retract the affidavit that stated their decision to join the APC on December 5, 2023, citing political uncertainty as their reason for the change. This withdrawal has significant implications, as it affects the court orders that previously allowed them to maintain their positions in office.
The development has raised questions about the political landscape in Rivers State and its potential impact on the upcoming electoral processes.
