The Martin Amaewhule-led Rivers State House of Assembly has declared the seats of Edison Ehie, Hon. Victor Oko-Jumbo and two other pro-Fubara lawmakers vacant.
Amaewhule, during plenary on Tuesday said the move was due to their absence from sittings for 152 days.
According to him, Ehie did not properly write to inform the House of his new office, and as such his seat has been declared vacant.
He added that the other seats were declared vacant following the absence of the lawmakers from sitting for 152 days consecutively without notification or permission, in violation of the 1999 Constitution.
He also said the House will write to INEC to conduct elections to replace the vacant seats within 90 days.
