ASABA – SPEAKER of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Emomotimi Guwor has said that none of the 22 members of the House elected under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has plans to defect to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

He dismissed as unfounded, media reports that 10 of the PDP members of the House are set to dump PDP for APC.

Guwor stated this while reacting to concerns raised on the issue by the House Leader, Hon Emeka Nwaobi during the House’s plenary.

He said the rumour mongers intended to heat the polity in the state.

He emphasized that the 22 members of the PDP currently serving as legislators in the State Assembly are solidly loyal to the ideals of the party.

Guwor said: “The rumour peddler is daydreaming. He is in his world. PDP in Delta state is strong and intact. Deltans are happy with the MORE agenda of His Excellency, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.

“There was no reason for such rumour as the performing Governor remains focused and strong in his MORE agenda. I enjoin the public to discountenance such rumour as it is unfounded”.
