Meanwhile, Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Victor Oko-Jumbo, has filed an appeal at the Supreme Court challenging the judgement of the Appeal Court.
Oko-Jumbo described the ruling as a miscarriage of justice and expressed belief that the Court of Appeal was in error.
The seats of Rt Hon Martin Amaewhule and 24 other former lawmakers remain vacant following their defection from the PDP to the APC.
