The PDP in Delta State filed a lawsuit against a federal lawmaker for defecting to the APC, seeking to declare her seat vacant.
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Delta State have taken legal action against Erhiatake Ibori-Sueni, the member representing the Ethiope-East/Ethiope-West Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, for defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC . The PDP filed a suit at the Federal High Court in Warri on December 11th, 2024, naming Ibori-Sueni, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC as defendants.
Dr Ayo Asala, SAN, filed the suit on behalf of the PDP, which gave the federal lawmaker 30 days to respond to the originating summons and appear in court. In the originating summons, the PDP requests the court to declare Ibori-Sueni's seat vacant immediately, citing Section 68 (1) (g) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as amended. The party argues that Ibori-Sueni's defection from the PDP, the party that sponsored her election, to the APC warrants the declaration of her seat vacant
