The fortunes of the PDP are once again on the rise as the All Progressive Congress seem to be losing all its battles.The PDP has landed the APC another major blow as expected.
The news is that a Federal High Court in Abuja on monday ruled that the members of the House of Representatives who left the PDP for the APC have no business staying in the House having left the party that sponsored them during their elections.
Delivering the ruling,Justice Adeniyi Ademola said the 12th to 53rd defendants(the defectors)ought to have left the House Honourably after their defections going by the provisions of section 68 of the 1999 Constitution.The court held that going by the evidence before it,the PDP remained one party without division contrary to the position of the defected lawmakers.
Justice Adeniyi also said the defected lawmakers could not vote to remove the leadership of the house and also could not sponsor a motion to that effect.
