9:05Now PlayingA legal practitioner, Mr John Oloyede believes the members of the House of Representatives that defected from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) have no moral right to do so.
Speaking on Channels Television flagship morning show, Sunrise Daily, Mr Oloyede described the defections as "morally wrong".
Speaking legally, he cited the Supreme Court judgment which gave Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers state, the mandate to govern the state after a different candidate was fielded during the election by the party.
He said "the Supreme Court ruled that the party won the mandate, but that was fielded did not win the primary election" adding that "the platform on which you contest, remains the owner of the mandate not you as a person" insisting that "it is a precedent and it ought to be followed".
