Labour Party's Claims The Labour Party argues that the lawmakers, aligned with former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, violated electoral laws by defecting and should lose their seats in the Rivers State Assembly. The party is seeking a court order to declare the seats vacant and direct the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct fresh elections. Labour Party Gets Court Nod to Play Defection Clip of Amaewhule, 26 Others The lawsuit, marked FHC/PH/25/2024, questions the legality of the defections and highlights the impact of political realignments on legislative processes in the state.

Victor Oko-Jumbo and three other lawmakers loyal to Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara. These pro-Fubara legislators are requesting the court to bar the 27 defecting lawmakers from continuing to act as members of the State Assembly.

Following their agreement, the court officially postponed the session to November 14.
