Amidst the ongoing political intricacies in Rivers State that have become a focal point of national discourse, Enemi George, a member of the Rivers State House of Assembly who switched allegiance from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), has firmly ruled out any possibility of returning to his former party.

“We have crossed that Rubicon. We have move to the APC. We voted for the President, if we find Mr President worthy of our votes then I think we should find him worthy of our support.
“We have moved over to join his Renewed Hope Agenda to work hands in gloves with him to ensure that the expectations of Nigerians are fulfilled. So, we have moved to the APC and we are working with the President, we have crossed that Rubicon and there is no going back for us,” George said.
Rivers State has been ensnared in a political dispute arising from the discord between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike. The rift led to a fracture among lawmakers in the House, with 27 of them defecting from the PDP to the ruling APC, a party in whose central government Wike currently holds a ministerial position.
The conflict escalated to the point where the governor faced an impeachment notice, witnessed the demolition of the Assembly complex, and experienced a wave of resignations by pro-Wike commissioners in Fubara’s cabinet.
However, a potential resolution emerged following a meeting between Tinubu and the warring parties on Monday.
