The party decided on this at the end of the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) Emergency Meeting on the Political Developments in Rivers state.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the PDP Acting National Chairman, Amb. Umar Iliya Damagum on Tuesday, December 19, via its X page (formerly known as Twitter) @OfficialPDPNig
Damagum insisted that the lawmakers have their seats and the only option available is to seek fresh nomination and re-election on the platform of any political party of their choice.
The party said there is no division in the PDP at the national or any other level to justify the lawmakers' defection to the APC.
Tinubu was able to broker peace in the political crisis rocking Rivers between Governor Fubara and Wike, on Monday, December 18.
The president held a closed-door meeting with Wike, former governor Peter Odili and other stakeholders to find a lasting solution to the growing crisis.
Governor Fubara, who was also present at the meeting, signed the peace deal with the leadership of the state house of assembly, the Wike's faction, who decamped to the APC from the PDP.
Seven prominent figures signed their names in the peace resolution paperwork to validate the accord between Governor Fubara and Wike in Rivers state.
