FULL LIST: Rivers PDP Lawmakers Who Have Not Defected to APC
Following the mass defection of 17 lawmakers from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on the floor of the Rivers State House of Assembly, the following ten PDP members remain loyal to the party:
| # | Name of Legislator | Constituency |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hon. Mrs. Emilia Lucky-Amadi | Obio/Akpor |
| 2 | Hon. Justina Emeji | Emohua |
| 3 | Hon. Ignatius Onwuka | Etche I |

In a recent session, these 10 lawmakers reportedly selected party officers and administered new oaths of office for positions including Minority Leader, Deputy Majority Leader, Minority Whip, and Deputy Minority Whip — reaffirming their commitment to the PDP.
Seventeen other members had defected to the APC earlier, prompting the House to adopt a resolution recognising the auditorium of the legislature quarters as the official chamber of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
