The BOOT Party had filed the suit in FHC/PHC/269/2024 before Justice Stephen Daylop-Pam, seeking the court to declare the seats of the lawmakers vacant following their defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), over disagreement that ensued between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike.
During the last sitting on June 24, the embattled lawmakers urged the court to transfer the matter to another court, but the trial judge, Justice Daylop-Pam informed the parties that he was yet to receive the written petition for stay of proceedings by his court to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court Abuja.
