UPDATE: Just Like In Ebonyi, Court Sacks Cross River Lawmakers For Joining APC
This comes after Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja fired 18 members of the state House of Assembly and two members of the House of Representatives for defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress.
Meanwhile, the Cross River State government has approached the Court of Appeal in Abuja to challenge the sacking of 20 lawmakers for dumping the PDP for the APC.
The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Governor Ben Ayade, Christian Ita, in a statement said the government is seeking a stay of execution against the judgement of a Federal High Court in Abuja.
He further stated that a motion on stay of execution has also been filed at the Federal High Court, even as he urged the lawmakers at the State House of Assembly and those at the National Assembly to go about their duties freely.
