NDC, Omo-Agege demand Delta Assembly's reversal on removal of member - Businessday NG

Mixed fractions have continued to trail Delta State House of Assembly’s (DTHA) declaration of Udu Constituency Seat vacant, even as the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and Ovie-Omo-Agege, the party’s Candidate for Delta Central Senatorial District in the 2027 general elections have called for the reversal of the declaration.

Emomotimi Guwor, Speaker of the DTHA, declared the seat of Collins Egbetamah (Udu Constituency) vacant for the ‘unforgivable sin’ of defecting from the APC to the NDC .

The declaration followed the adoption of a motion by Emeka Nwobi, the Leader of the House, seconded by Arthur Akpowowo, the Deputy Speaker, and unanimously approved at plenary presided over by Guwor.

Guwor declared the seat vacant in line with Section 109(1)(g) and (2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as amended, and directed the Clerk of the House to communicate the resolution to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The NDC, in a statement signed by McCollins Nwose, the Delta State Publicity Secretary of the party, described the action as unconstitutional, unjust and political motivated.
