Asks court to order swearing in of PDP’s Governorship, Deputy Guber candidates in last election

The People’s Democratic Party ( PDP) has commenced legal action for the removal of Yobe State Governor, Mai Buni, from office over alleged breach of constitutional provisions barring a sitting executive from holding two offices at the same time.

The PDP in the suit dated and filed August 12, is specifically alleging that Buni violated section 183 of the constitution when as a governor he accepted to serve as Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The plaintiffs which include Umar Damagum and Baba Aji in the suit filed by Emeka Etiaba, SAN, insisted that Buni ceases to be a governor from the moment he accepted to act as APC Caretaker Committee Chairman.

The plaintiffs therefore asked the court for an order directing the Yobe State Chief Judge or any other senior person next to the Chief Judge to immediately swear in Damagum and Aji as Governor and Deputy Governor of Yobe State being candidates of the party which came second in the 2019 governorship election in Yobe State.

Wayo people

That's exactly what any smart person will do, it's survival of the fittest. Someone's misfortune is another's fortune

PDP is now more of a comic relief than a political party.

Wise move.

Old folks

Damnnn niggarrrr

Isoright

They person above me, Haha. Slawomirr is always on every thread. The Damm nigger

Well, politics has turn to a different thing in Nigeria entirely. Every parties are of bird of same feathers

I don't know what is wrong with this useless PDP. They should shut up if they don't have something meaningful to say

Nice one

When the chief Justice is an APC member.

Militant30:
Wise move.

So, let’s assume that the court agreed with PDP that its illegal for Buni to hold the two offices at the same time, what will be the benefit of the judgement?

The court cannot remove him as governor since it’s only the state house of assembly that can do that. Asking the court to order the swearing in of the defeated PDP candidate is a joke taken too far. If the governor for any reason other than electoral matter is removed, the deputy governor automatically steps in and not the defeated candidate.

So, what’s the benefit of the case to PDP? This is nothing but a mere academic exercise and a waste of the court’s time.

Just

Let Buni leave the Governorship and focus on the Apc chairmanship since that's what he's dedicated himself to.

PDP is smoking what I don't know

But why is Mai Mala Buni finding it difficult to relinquish the chairmanship of APC since the courts had surreptitiously declared his occupation unconstitutional? Some people are very greedy.
How can you be a governor of a state and also holding another elective position of chairmanship of a political party?

Why is PDP so dumb. If you are requesting the governor be removed for accepting another appointment. The next in line is the deputy governor or a new election if the deputy governor is incapacitated.
Quest for power is making the party lose their senses.

How is it comic? How can a sitting governor elected to better the lives of his people be heading a political party?

PDP should face their own problem

Sick country

Very sick country

Penguin2:

Because they could.

The court cannot remove a governor for violating the constitution, only the state assembly can. So, what success can the case record for PDP?
