Rivers State Assembly member rejoins PDP after brief stint with APC

Linda Somari Stewart, a representative of Okrika in the Rivers State House of Assembly, has reversed her decision to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and returned to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This move comes after the defection of 27 state lawmakers to the APC, triggering a declaration of their seats as vacant by the House Speaker. The political landscape is influenced by the ongoing face-off between Minister Nyesom Wike and Governor Sim Fubara.
