The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) caucus in the Delta state house of assembly says its members are not planning to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Emeka Nwaobi, majority leader of the house, spoke in Asaba on Wednesday while responding to reports that 10 of the 22 PDP members of the assembly had perfected plans to join the APC.
Nwaobi said all the PDP members in the house are loyal to the party.
He stated that five of the seven APC members in the assembly have indicated an interest to join the PDP.

Dennis Guwor, speaker of the house, asked PDP supporters in the state to dismiss the reports
”There is no doubt that the 22 members of the PDP in the state house of assembly are intact. There is no indication anywhere that any member of the party is planning to join any other party,” Guwor said.
“Rather, there is strong indication that no fewer than five out of the seven members of the APC in the house are already warming up to join the PDP.

“So let me use this forum to inform them that the umbrella is wide enough to accommodate as many that are interested in joining us.”
