The Rivers State Government and the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has insisted that the seat of the 27 members of the state House of Assembly that defected from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC) remain vacant as declared by Edison Ehie, the leader of the four lawmakers loyal for Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The Public Relations Officer of the PDP in the state, Sidney Tambari Gbara, in a statement on Sunday, noted that the lawmakers failed to obey the law, adding that their seats remain vacant.
Gbara said: “We are all aware of what is going on in the state and those who are alleging that there is crisis in PDP that led to their defection should prove it.
