Umahi can only keep grasping at straws but he's a goner.

The position of the is that it is illegal for an elected officer to defect from a party if there are no internal issues or crisis in the party that warrants defection. It's on this grounds that the judge based his judgment.





That is the true position of the law which a lot of parties refuse to put to the test because of their own selfish interests. Don't mind the likes of seunmsg. I long stopped seeing his ilk as patriotic. Useless politicians who keep jumping about with no ideology or scruples.

You remain Governor for how long Arrogant man?

The Supreme Court will give you the final boot and be sure it’s gonna happen this year.

Rubbish talk!
In law, you quote a precedence or at least an amended constitution, and not just wake up and pass a ridiculous judgment.

Governors have been moving from one party to another since 1999, tell me an instance when any of them was removed because of that?

As a senior lawyer I think the judge misfired

It is best to petition the NJC while Appeal is filled

There is no provision in the constitution of Nigeria that says any governor who defects to other party loses his position.

As at the time Umahi defected, PDP were in crisis over its former National chairman Uche Sevondus.

Im very sure the Judge will be sanctioned.

Is there a provision to declare as governor a person whose name was not on the ballot? as was the case with Rotimi Amaechi

The job of the courts is to clarify ambiguity whether or not we agree with the outcome that is how jurisprudence works

Like I do say, this country is a joke. Both parties are bunch of jokes, simply because I can't trust Nigeria judiciary. And the defendant himself, I dislike some of his actions. So this country is a joke for me.

Because no party had tested that law till now. APC and PDP are all the same, that's why they allow such bull. You cannot as an elected officer defect if there is no internal crisis of split in your party.

My consolation remains that all these sudden developments will still end in praise to God for the Asiwaju Tinubu victory at the Presidential poll. Sorry to ask you, how much Tinubu gave you??

The Judge just lost his position and might get disgraced. Umahi defected when PDP were in crisis. I bet the Judge and those who paid him forgot this fact.
there was no crisis in PDP when he defected, he has defected before Secondus issue came up, even at that, there was no faction in PDP. The constitution made mention of faction not crisis. He would have created some kangaroo faction as Amaechi and co did before their defection in 2014.

This man should pack his load. When he defected, he relinquished the mandate of the party on whose platform he was elected. Let PDP carry out another primary election to replace him. It is party name that is on ballot paper not individuals name.

Good judgement from Justice Ekwo. I hope the quota system judges with their corrupted religious mind can learn here.

The Judgement has also disqualified Gov Obaseki of Edo State and his deputy

That means he was not a valid PDP Candidate

Obasaki contested his election on the platform of PDP. He never won election on the platform of a party and decamp to another. It's a different scenario with Ebonyi state governor. The owner of this number 08036307323 is a fraudster, avoid him in your life

That the parties have not previously tested this at the courts does not mean they have a lost case. As for precedence, the only reason Amaechi became governor was because the supreme Court ruled that votes are given to political parties and not individuals and as such, you ought not to decamp to another party with the mandate of your party.

I dare David Umahi & his deputy not to appeal the judgment of the Federal High Court sacking him, if he has balls and believe that the judgment was bought.
Umahi should go back and read PDP's constitution about decamping to another while holding office under it's platform.
Umahi's feeble argument that he can not be sack as such is not provided for in the Constitution does no hold any water. Can Umahi while, in the university for a 5 years programe, withdraw from school Midway and still be entitled for the certificate as of right? since according to his line of reasoning, there is no where the Constitution has said Umahi should not be given a certificate.
