Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has summoned an emergency meeting with the members of the State Executive Council at the Government House in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
The emergency meeting comes after the defection of 27 members of the 32-member House of Assembly from the governing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC).
It was gathered that the lawmakers dumped PDP for APC during the sitting of the House earlier today.
