Falana faults Tinubu on reinstatement of 27 cross-carpeting Rivers lawmakers

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, on Tuesday faulted President Bola Tinubu’s order on the reinstatement of 27 lawmakers in the Rivers State House of Assembly.

The lawmakers who are loyalists of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesome Wike, on December 11 dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The PDP consequently asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare the seats vacant and conduct a fresh election into the constituencies.
