He explained that this action deprived the trial court of the authority to adjudicate the matter.<\/p>\n<p>Iboroma highlighted that Martin Amaewhule and the others had officially defected from the PDP to the APC on December 11, 2023, as indicated in affidavit evidence submitted by Amaewhule and his co-defendants in a case before the Federal High Court in Abuja. He also noted the existing interlocutory injunction in another suit, which restrains Amaewhule and his associates from assuming the roles of lawmakers in Rivers State pending the resolution of the main suit.<\/p>\n<p>The Attorney General urged the public to disregard any reports suggesting that the court has affirmed Amaewhule and the other lawmakers as PDP members and members of the Rivers
