According to information available to our sources the Imo PDP has decided to file cases against the defecting politicians citing the constitution of Nigeria, saying that PDP as a party is calm and peaceful in Imo State, and therefore does not warrant the Lawmakers jumping ship.
A reliable source from PDP told our sources that soon the affected Lawmakers would be served to appear before court, as PDP lawyers have readied their petitions for prosecution.
“No politician contests election without a political party. Infact, it is political parties that owe mandates not individuals. So, the moment you leave a political party, you have abandoned your mandate. Such defection can only happen when the party is in crisis. Is Imo PDP in crisis”? the source asked our sources.
Before the January 14,2020 supreme court judgment which removed Ihedioha from office, PDP had the majority in House of Assembly.
Others were Philip Ejiogu (Ow North) Tochi Okereke (Ngor Okpala) Chyna Iwuanyanwu (Nwangele) Herculus Okoro (Ohaji/Egbema) Sam Otuibe (Ahiazu Mbaise) Solomon Anukam (Ow. Municipal) Uche Ogbuagu (Ikeduru) Okey Onyekanma (Mbaitoli) , Frank Ogboma (Oguta) and Anyadike from Ezinihitte Mbaise.
However, after the defections, only Ugboma, Onyekanma, Okereke, Ejiogu, Anukam and Anyadike have remained in PDP, while others have moved to APC.
