Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday, dismissed a suit seeking the removal of 27 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly for switching to the All Progressives Congress (APC) last year.
The judge dismissed the suit filed by the Action Peoples Party (APP) for being statute-barred.
The lawmakers who are loyalists of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for APC over the crisis that hit the Assembly in December 2023.
