THE Federal lawmakers representing Anambra from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have officially informed the National Assembly and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that they were never sacked by the Supreme Court judgment of January 29, 2016.
Consequently they have asked the two bodies and indeed the public to ignore the claim by Chief Chris Uba and eight others that they have been cleared to take over as elected federal lawmakers representing Anambra from the PDP.
The lawmakers including Senator Andy Uba and Senator Princess Stella Oduah, in a statement signed by their counsel, Mr. Vincent Otaokpukpu of Chief Arthur Obi Okafor (SAN) Chambers decried what they described as the misleading media reports of the judgment of the Supreme Court of January 29, 2016.
Media reports, the statement said, created a picture that the Supreme Court sacked PDP senators and other members of the National Assembly representing Anambra from PDP and urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Senate President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the public to disregard and ignore the reports as they were not the rulings of the apex court.
