The Akwa Ibom state House of Assembly has declared vacant the seats of Itu, Etim Ekpo/Ika, Ikono, Mkpat Enin, and Essien Udim state constituencies in line with section 109 Sub 1(G) of the 1999 constitution as amended.
The House has also passed a motion urging His Excellency Governor Udom Emmanuel to name either the Akwa Ibom state University or the Ibom International Airport after former Governor Victor Attah in commemoration of his 80th birthday.
Recall that the Federal High Court sitting in Uyo had last week ruled in favour of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), ordering the AKHA to declare Idongesit Ituen’s seat vacant.
The Court held that Ituen had no reason to have defected from his former party as there was no division in the party.
House adjourns till Tues. 27th Nov.
