APC hardly wins elections in southeast and Ebonyi may not be different. I see PDP winning the guber election in Ebonyi in 2023.

Senator Olamilekan Solomon Adeola popularly known as YAYI.

He was the Senator from Lagos West now representing Ogun West.

He was the senator representing my area for Alimosho, Lagos.

I don't know why he is angry but probably trying to protect Asiwaju Tinubu choice of senate president.

So says a failure that was garbed in borrowed robes. A man that have zilch sense about governance. A former military HOS that gave terrorist a lifeline thereby becoming a disgrace to Major Generals rank holders.

May Nigeria never witness another government that will give the kind of "best" the disastrous Buhari's regime gave this nation in every strata of its national life.

One thing they could not take away from us nor deny us is that natural talent and God's gift of favour. They tried but it's as impossible as they can't spit at the sky. God bless us. Igbo Amaka!

Wike hijacked PDP and bullied Dave Umahi into moving to the APC. That move was the best thing that happened to APC in South East because that man did an outstanding job in his state. In fact, Dave Umahi remains one of the best governors Nigeria has ever produced since the inception of democracy.

In a new state of Ebonyi in dire need of infrastructure, Dave Umahi came to their rescue. What it means is that any party he joins can easily win votes in the state because many people will ride on his popularity.

Congratulations to the new governor, Mr. Nwifuru. One agendum I am giving the new governor is to focus on human capital development. Ebonyi State badly needs it!

Nigeria holds the world's record of clueless and incompetent leaders. But you see Bayelsa, with all of its humongous monthly federal allocation and other derivatives, Nigeria dey learn work where the State dey.

EKOSuperior:
The 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) provides for the removal of the Governor or Deputy Governor of a state only in two sections, that is section 188 which provides for the removal of the Governor/Deputy Governor through impeachment by the State House of Assembly and in section 189 which provides for the removal of the Governor/Deputy Governor by the State Executive Council on the groud of permanent incapacity.

Apart from the provisions mentioned above, there is no other groud for the removal of the Governor provided by the Constitution except the Governor resigns his position or is dead, see Section 306 and 181 of the 1999 Constitution.

The Supreme Court in the celebrated case of ATTORNEY-GENERAL OF THE FEDERATION & 2 ORS V. ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR & 3 ORS (S.C. 31/2007) [2007] NGSC 118 (20 APRIL 2007) held inter alia that there is no express provision of the vacation of office of the vice president upon defection from his sponsoring political party to a rival party. The vice president can only resign from office as per the provisions of section 306 of the Constitution. The other clear provision relating to cessation of office and removal from office is said to be impeachment in sections 143 and 144 of the Constitution.
Accordingly, the appeal was dismissed.

The decision of the Supreme Court above also applies to the Governor/Deputy Governor of a state because the Constitution provides for right to freedom of association which includes political parties in Section 40.

In summary, section 1(1) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) provides that:

"This Constitution is supreme and its provisions shall have binding force on the authorities and persons
throughout the Federal Republic of Nigeria."

It further provided in Section 1(3) that:

"If any other law is inconsistent with the provisions of this Constitution, this Constitution shall
prevail, and that other law shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be void.

The question begging for answer is: "the declaration of the seat of the Governor/Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State vacant, is it in line with the provisions of the Constitution?

I don't support APC at any level,but it will be a difficult task for PDP's Odii to defeat APC's Nwifuru.

Daniego:
Umai is dreaming to think that he can impose a thief to Ebonyians as a governor.
He lost his senses the time he joined APC.
