Rivers: Court Dismisses APP's Suit Seeking Replacement Of 27 pro-Wike lawmakers by fergie001(mod): 4:17pm On Sep 20, 2024

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has dismissed a suit instituted against the 27 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

The suit was seeking to replace the 27 lawmakers on account of their alleged defection from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) was dismissed for lacking in merit

Justice Peter Lifu who delivered the judgment held that the suit instituted by the Action People's Party APP was statute barred having not been filed within 14 days allowed by law.

While the alleged defection by Martins Amaewhule and 26 others was said to have been carried out in December 2023 , the APP filed the case on July 12, a period of 8 months after the cause of action emanated.

Justice Lifu also held that the case was a gross abuse of court process on the ground that several suits on the alleged defection of the same 27 lawmakers had been adjudicated upon by the Federal High Court.

The plaintiffs were praying the court for an other directing INEC to conduct a by-election for the seats of the 27 lawmakers having defected to the APC.

Reacting to the judgment, Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly Martins Amaewhule said he and 26 other lawmakers never defected from the PDP to the APC.

Did the 27 Senators in fact illegally defect to APC? Is there evidence to back the suit? I am trying to understand why the court is suggesting that because the suit was filed 8 months later — the Constitution sets no such time constraint — that it should be disregarded. undecided

What is an affidavit in law? Bringing to fore that something is done legally before the courts.

The court judgment is that the case is "statute barred" not whether the lawmakers are gone or not.
It was determined to have been filed outside the allowed period and that there are already subsisting litigations on same case.

The judgement did not touch on the status of the 26 as valid RSHA members or not so your question too is misplaced.

Fubara is illiterate but a serving governor. You are smart...but who are you?
