Court Saks PDP Lawmakers Who Decamped to APC

A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday asked 37 former members of the PDP who decamped to the APC to resign their seats at the House of Representatives for joining the fast growing opposition party.

But it appears the court went beyond it's brief as the case before it was just to perpetually restrained them from effecting any leadership change in the House of Reps, and it eventually gave that order.

Delivering judgment in a matter brought by PDP asking that the legislators should not be allowed to take part in the attempt to change the leadership of the House, the court ruled that:

“Having perused the arguments of counsel and the constitutional provisions, it is clear and unambiguous that the defendants were sponsored by the PDP and won the election on its platform. It is also the court’s opinion that their tenure has not expired and there is no division in the PDP’’.
