Rivers state governor, Sim Fubara has convened an emergency meeting with the members of the State Executive Council.
The meeting is holding at the Government House in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
Recall that about 27 members of the 32-member House of Assembly from the governing Peoples Democratic Party decamped today to the All Progressive Congress APC.
It was gathered that the 27 member who defected are former governor, Nyesom Wike’s loyalists.
Fubara called for the meeting following the defection of 27 members to the APC on Monday.
The lawmakers had dumped PDP for APC during a sitting of the House.
The lawmakers were seen brandishing the flags of the APC in a group photograph after the sitting.
Fubara and his predecessor, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, have been at loggerheads over the party’s structure in the state.
