Supporters of Governor Siminalayi Fubara would still have to wait a little while to know if the seats of the 25 members of State Assembly is vacant or not.
A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Monday dismissed the suit seeking to vacant the seats of the 25 lawmakers, who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The presiding judge, Justice Okogbule Gbasam held that the lawmakers are still members of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The claimants, the judge held had failed to provide proof as required by law that the defendants are members of the All Progressives Congress.
Only recently, a Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, May 30, declared the seats of the 25 lawmakers, who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC, vacant pending the determination of a suit before it.
The court, also ordered the Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule, to stop parading as the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly and barred the 24 lawmakers, who are all Anti-Siminalayi Fubara, the governor of the state, from posing as lawmakers in the state.
