National leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has observed that Justice Adeniyi Ademola’s judgement of Monday did not order the 37 members of the House who defected to the APC from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to vacate their seats because he was not competent to issue such a ruling, as the issue of whether or not they can defect was not before him.

In a statement in Lagos by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party echoed the House caucus that the ruling will be appealed because Justice Ademola’s perpetual injunction restraining the concerned lawmakers from participating in motions and debates in the House is unconstitutional and defeats the very purpose for which the members were elected into the House.

The APC Caucus in the House of Representatives on Tuesday pooh-poohed the judgement, saying the judge went beyond his brief to express opinions on issues that were not before him.
