Port Harcourt, Rivers – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State has asserted that the positions of the 27 lawmakers who departed from the party are officially unoccupied, a declaration made by the House’s new speaker, Edison Ehie.
The Public Relations Officer of the PDP in Rivers State, Sidney Tambari Gbara, emphasised that these legislators needed to comply with legal requirements, underscoring that their seats are currently vacant.
As reported by Vanguard, Gbara said:
“We are all aware of what is going on in the state, and those who are alleging that there is a crisis in PDP that led to their defection should prove it.
“I don’t know where the problem is. They are in a better position to explain if there is problem in the party or not.
