The three legislators and their PDP colleagues were reportedly absent from the meeting, but fifteen members of the All Progressives Congress were there.
The letter was read on the House floor by the speaker, Francis Nwifuru, who then declared the three legislators’ seats vacant.
Nwifuru directed the clerk to write to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to notify the electoral body of the development and the need to conduct fresh elections in the affected constituencies.
