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! 3 Likes 2 Shares |

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. |

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. 1 Like |

fergie001: 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 |

garfield1: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. |

JONNYSPUTE: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.” 1 Like 1 Share |

fergie001:....Most of 9ur judges are very funny. 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. |
