This kind of story totally affects politics in the state. So, when everyone hears "Akwa Ibom commissioner resigns" and they also find out that 15 out of 26 lawmakers didn't want to ditch PDP for APC, it really messes with who has the most say in the assembly. Power becomes less predictable, and you can’t just assume everyone will support the new party because of the governor.

I've watched press clips where they talk about this stuff—it’s more about math than drama. If most lawmakers stay with PDP, then even if the governor is APC, he might have a rough time getting his ideas turned into new laws or projects. The governor needs the assembly’s backing, but if the numbers are close or switchy, then stuff just gets stuck. Also, some people worry it leads to more fighting than actual problem-solving.

I remember when a similar thing happened in another state—nothing got done for months because no one could agree! I think it just goes to show how one big move, like a commissioner resigning or a group refusing to switch parties, can flip everything in politics on its head.
