The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Delta State and Senator Ovie Omo-Agege condemn the Delta State House of Assembly’s decision to declare the seat of the Udu State Constituency lawmaker vacant. The lawmakers’ seat is said to have been declared vacant after Egbetamah Ovie Collins is reported to have defected to another political party. In their reaction, the NDC and Omo-Agege argue that the move by the Delta Assembly is unconstitutional and unjust. They describe the action as politically driven and not in line with relevant constitutional provisions governing legislative representation and party membership changes. The reports focus on the dispute between Collins’s former legislative status and the Assembly’s process for treating his defection as grounds for vacancy. The officials’ statements call into question the legal basis for the Assembly’s action and seek to challenge the decision publicly.
