The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Akwa Ibom State says it will commence legal action against House of Assembly members who defected alongside with Senator Godswill Akpabio to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Two lawmakers: Hon Gabriel Tobby, member representing Ika/Etim Ekpo and Hon Nse Ntuen, member representing Essien Udim State Constituencies defected alongside with Senator Godswill Akpabio to the APC on Wednesday.
According to the PDP publicity secretary, Ini Ememobong, “The party has also resolved to commence legal action to activate the provision of section 68 of the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria (1999 as amended) as it relates to the erring legislators.”
Ini Ememobong, who posted on his Facebook wall, “The Speaker and other 24 members of the Akwa Ibom state House of Assembly are intact, leaving him with the two members whom he introduced on that stage, while the members of the National Assembly are intact except, the senator’s representative and one other Member of the House of Representatives, both of whom are having very heavy return challenges in their constituencies.”
“With the speech of H.E Sen.Godswill Akpabio announcing his resignation from our great party, The Peoples Democratic Party and indicating his immediate membership of the ruling party in the country, The State Executive Committee has directed the ward chairman of our party in Ukana West 2 in Essien Udim local government area to delete his name from the membership register of our party.”
“For the few persons(all of whom were either his personal staff, relatives or former employees) whom he showcased as co-defectors, their respective ward chairmen are charged to immediately delist them from our register.”
