The Abia State chapter of the PDP has called for the swearing-in of Aaron Uzodike of the PDP, as a member representing the Aba North constituency in the State House of Assembly.
PDP made this call in a statement signed by Abraham Amah, the party’s Vice Chairman and Acting Publicity Secretary.
The party expressed worry that the Aba North constituency is still without a lawmaker representing them in the Abia State House of Assembly even though the Appeal Court had declared Aaron Uzodike as the winner of the March 18 election and removed Destiny Nwagwu of the ruling Labour Party, LP in the state.
Amah, the PDP chieftain described the situation as impunity.
“It is common knowledge that the only document required by the Speaker to swear in a member into the House of Assembly is the Certificate of Return which was issued to Hon. Aaron Uzodike by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, a few days after the Court judgment and thus made him the duly and validly elected member of the Abia State House of Assembly to represent the good people of Aba North.
“Why has the Speaker refused to swear him in?” Amah asked
