He blamed their defections on the instability of the national leadership of the PDP and the fractionalisation of the South-South Zonal Executive of the party which had resulted in division within the PDP.
Guwor explained that the defection was also in line with Section 109, subsection 1 (g) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 ( as amended).
