A lawmaker of the Rivers State House Assembly who defected to All Progressives Congress(APC) from Peoples Democratic (PDP) has reportedly made a U-turn on her earlier defection.
According to the report, the lawmaker, Hon Linda Somari Stewart, the member representing Okrika constituency in the Rivers State House of Assembly expressed regret at her action and described it is a mistake.
She was one of the 27 lawmakers loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, who defected from the PDP to APC, recently amid moves to impeach the state governor, Sim Fubara.
Her return to the PDP places her firmly within the camp of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, indicating that the governor is gradually gaining grounds in the state.
It was also gathered that Tonye Adoki, a member representing Port Harcourt Constituency 11, has rejoined the PDP.
Confirming the development, the State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Joseph Johnson, said there are more defected members jostling to return.
