- The Rivers state high court has been said to be on its track over ruling on the PDP membership status of the pro-Nyesom Wike-led House of Assembly
- In an exclusive interview with Legit.ng, Okanlawon Gaffar, a legal practitioner, said there was no written document that the lawmakers left the PDP
- According to the legal practitioner, the situation is the over-judicialisation of Nigeria’s democracy
Okanlawon Gaffar, a legal practitioner, has commented on the recent judgment that the pro-Nyesom Wike lawmakers in the Rivers State House of Assembly are still members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The Rivers State High Court, in a ruling on Monday, June 10, struck out a suit filed by Wosa Amadi and three others seeking to declare the 27 lawmakers’ seats vacant following their defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in December 2003.
