Lawmakers In Bayelsa Dumps PDP to APC



A member of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, Alfred Egba, and other members of the Peoples Democratic Party have dumped the party for the All Progressives Congress. Egba, representing Yenagoa Constituency 1, announced his defection to the APC on Friday. Other members of the House who were denied tickets to return to the Assembly were said to have perfected plans to leave the PDP before May 29. During the PDP primary election last year, no fewer than 16 lawmakers said to be loyalists of former Governor Timipre Sylva failed in their bid to clinch the party’s tickets. With the victories of the APC at the federal and many states, there appears to be noticeable cracks in the PDP in Bayelsa State.
