A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Tuesday ordered 16 Ebonyi lawmakers to vacate their seats after their defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a judgment, ordered the lawmakers to stop parading themselves as representatives of the people after dumping the party on which platform they were elected into the house of assembly.
Some of the lawmakers include Odefa Obasi Odefa, Victor Chukwu, Kingsley Ikoro, Joseph Ununu, Nkemka Okoro, among others.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Justice Ekwo had on Jan. 19 fixed Tuesday for the judgment in the suit filed by the PDP against the governor and his deputy.
