The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has set aside the order made by the High Court of Rivers State restraining the 25 members of the Rivers House of Assembly, who allegedly defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from further parading themselves as members of the Assembly and conducting legislative businesses.
In a unanimous judgment on Thursday, July 4, a three-member panel of the appellate court held that the Rivers State High Court lacked the power/jurisdiction to hear the case which bordered on whether or not the seats of the lawmakers, who allegedly defected, were vacant or their terms had ceased.
It held that, by the provision of Section 273(3) of the Constitution, it is only the Federal High Court that has the jurisdiction to determine whether or not the seat of a lawmaker is vacant or his term of office has ceased.

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, Senator Monday Okpebholo on Thursday, July 4, hailed the Federal High Court judgment that nullified the primaries that produced the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s candidate, Asue Ighodalo.
The Court, in its ruling, in Abuja on Thursday, declared as invalid the primary election that produced Ighodalo as the PDP’s governorship candidate.
The primary election conducted on February 22, 2024, was voided on the ground that 378 delegates who were supposed to vote at the primary election were unlawfully excluded by the PDP.
