Apprehension in Delta House as members plot defection

THERE was apprehension in Delta State yesterday over the fate of some members of the House of Assembly following speculations that some Peoples Democratic Party, PDP members of the House had defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The only member who confirmed his defection yesterday was the immediate past speaker of the House of Assembly, Monday Igbuya.

At least three members Vanguard gathered could defect but are afraid to make their plans known upon fears that their seats could be declared vacant upon constitutional provisions.

Igbuya who was a close associate of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and had before his impeachment been at the forefront of the Okowa re-election campaign Vanguard gathered has obtained the form of the APC for the APC to contest for the House of Representative seat for Okpe, Sapele and Uvwie federal constituency.
