The Labour Party has issued a three-day ultimatum to Senate President Godswill Akpabio to declare the seat of the Senator representing Imo East, Ezenwa Onyewuchi, vacant.
DAILY NIGERIAN reports that Mr Onyewuchi had announced his defection from the Labour Party to the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Wednesday.
He cited division and the need to support President Bola Tinubu as his reasons.
But in a letter addressed to Mr Akpabio, the party warned that failure to comply with the ultimatum would lead to legal action to reclaim the mandate given by the Imo East electorates.
According to a statement issued by the Imo State publicity secretary of the LP, Bright Ofurum, the party expressed regret for supporting Mr Onyewuchi.
