The 17 members of the Ebonyi State House of Assembly sacked by the Federal High Court in Abuja have appealed the judgement and stay of execution, according to Speaker Francis Nwifiru.

Nwifuru stated this while briefing journalists at his lodge on Ezza Road in Abakaliki, Ebonyi state capital.

Nwifiru assured constituents that the law will take its position.

Our seats were declared vacant by a federal high court in Abuja because we defected from PDP to APC.

“I am aware of the position of the Nigerian Constitution. But I have no idea how the courts interpret the law. I am not opposed.

The appeal and stay of execution are filed. It is unnecessary to comment since the matter is before the court. We believe the law will speak for itself. “We beg our constituents to obey the law”, Nwifiru said.
