The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Saturday described the ‘Redefection’ of the Rivers State Assemblymen as mockery of democracy.

The main opposition party, which described them as a clog in the wheels of the democratic progress, added that they will go down in history as enemies of democracy and those who made mockery of the legislature.

The party National Publicity Secretary (NPS), Comrade Ini Ememobong, said this in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja.

The NPS noted that the members of the Rivers state House of Assembly have by their actions since they assumed office, shown that they are political puppets, who are doing the bidding of their paymaster.

“We have seen on various media platforms news of the redefection of some members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, who, for a second time, announced their defection from our party. We recall that they had done so earlier and later recanted.

“These are people whom the world is aware are doing the bidding of their paymaster and demigod.

“The members of the Rivers state House of Assembly have by their actions since they assumed office, shown that they are political puppets and a clog in the wheels of democratic progress. They will go down in history as enemies of democracy and those who made mockery of the legislature.

“So the easiest way to describe their action is a defection from APC to APC.

“Consequently, the PDP will take legal steps to activate the provision of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria(1999 as amended) to recover the mandate gained under the benner of our party which these people have now ignobly and surreptitiously switched to another platform.

“We urge all party members in Rivers State to remain faithful and resolute, as efforts are underway to rebuild the party along the path of inclusiveness, fairness, and equity,” Ememobong statement added.
