This is not entirely correct. The Zamfara state situation and Bayelsa are the same, both have not been sworn in, so I don't think it should be lumped in the category of sacked governors as they were never governor of their State for just a DAY.


You also didn't mention OLUSEGUN AGAGU WHO WAS SACKED FOR OLUSEGUN MIMIKO IN ONDO STATE

Some things are remarkable in all this supreme court chirade in this states :

1. All of them happened in Christian controlled states.

2. 95% of the governors that won the supreme court judgement turned out to be northern stooges in their land

3. 95% of the states involved are in the south of Nigeria.


OP I dare you to release the names of the supreme court justices that sat on this case, you will be surprised that 95% of them were from the north.

The governors of Ondo, Ekiti, Osun, Edo were sacked by court of appeal been the highest court to hear governorship election matters as eshrined in the electoral act before it was amended in 2010. The electoral act 2010 now makes it possible for governorship election tribunal to get to supreme Court level being the highest court of the land.
Remember, that was what brought dissentment between Jonathan and justice salami president of court of appeal then. Salami was accused to have used his position to favour ACN , as they were the beneficiary of the judgements. The latter was elevated to supreme Court which he rejected.
