When Buhari said in 2018 that the Judiciary is his biggest problem most of us never really understood. Now it is becoming clearer.

Nothing should be allowed to work in this country.

Between a corrupt judiciary and a corrupt INEC , all good competent leaders could be blocked from becoming governors.

It seems Gov. Dave Umahi some how managed to slip through the net.

Umahi is performing too well for Nigeria, so he has to go! angry

Politics is a very dirty and very complicated game.. You can't even predict the next thing that will happen..

My mind is telling me that Supreme court might sack Buhari on the eve of presidential election in 2023 then order for Atiku to take over undecided

Genius !!
I respect you ...
You spoke my mind ...

The judgment on umahi was not justiceable but a court judgement no matter how stupid it looks must be respected.
A post election matter judgement takes effect immediately just like a criminal case.
Umahi must first vacate his seat, the new governor who should be the first runner up at the pdp primary would be sworn in, and umahi will be appealing the case as a sacked governor.

I keep saying it that ibos are their own enemies. One by one they will fight themselves out of this Aso Rock race as usual. Is it another region fighting this ibo gov? No. His own people in ebonyi state. They will fight him out of it. Now, he has lost focus...he cant chase Aso Rock seat with full concentration. He is going to start defending his mandate here. grin

See, ibo is not ready at all. I am very confident they arent getting to Aso rock for another 16 years. Na chests dem go dey beat online. grin

What is special about aso rock? You that is talking will you ever reach there in your lifetime (this one go pain am grin)

There is no provision in the Constitution of Nigeria whereby a serving Governor or his Deputy could be removed on account of defection to another political party.

That's what I was telling you on the E10 the SC quashed. This judgement is morally the right one but the Constitution is the instrument for determination not morality.


I was even about to bring that in.it is just like when they were ruling agaainst card readers..I think the atiku vs obj ors 2006 supra case will suffice.but the lawmakers are likely gone...the part I like about the fhc judgment is that they will be fresh elections

There will be no need for it.

This is March and the case is not pre-election, so no need to hurry @ all. Their tenures will be over before judgement will suffice.

When it happened to Hon. Abegunde, it was just a few months before the 2015 General Election.

... So are you now saying he is a gonna already? Lol
Can you provide the section where it is in our Constitution pls?
I never say so, this is Nigeria anything can happen. Below is the section of the constitution

Section 68 (1) “A person shall vacate his seat in which he was elected if — (g) being a person whose election was sponsored by a political party, he becomes a member of another political party before the expiration of the period for which he was elected.”

(h) provided that his membership of the latter political party is not as a result of a division in the political party of which he was previously a member or of a merger of two or more political parties or factions by one of which he was previously sponsored.”

;DTo grin OP please I beg you in the name of Umahi's Ebubeaturu... Sorry Ebubeagu stop this expensive joke o... I don't like it,, what do you mean sef? So after all Umahi have suffered and done to prove to his Fulani masters that he's a loyal servant, all the people he killed, those he admonished and bastardized even abandoned the PDP that made him; now you're wishing him to be humiliated like that? You're even more wicked and ruthless than Umahi himself. I don't like what I use to hate.

The same Umahi you were extolling to high heaven as the one Buhari was preparing to tackle Tinubu has suddenly become a devil again?

Does he understand the constitution that a sitting govonor cannot be remove except through the the house of assembly of such state provide the case is not that of any post or pre election matters.
Until they amend our Constitution to contain all these,we will keep seeing it.

I think we really need judgement like this to stop all these ashewo politicians.. The question is who holds he mandate according to the constitution, the candidate or the party?
The party i believe, because the ballot papers only carry party logos and not candidate's pictures.

Well, it's good for democracy if it stands. However, I fear it will be upturned either in appeal or Supreme Court.

He was trying to do two things at the same time. Trying to bring morality into Constitutional matters but it doesn't work that way.
Amend wetin?
The President or Governors will never amend that part. It's good like that.

Nobody is taking over. The governor will appeal and remain on his seat. It's not the first time this is happening. It'll drag up till supreme court with the governor still in his seat.
