It is no longer news that the former deputy Governor of Adamawa - Mr. Bala Ngilari has been sworn in as the new Governor of Adamawa State, thanks to the Nigerian Courts. But, I must ask, was he sworn in along with a Deputy, which I think is the position of the law? I supposed the Nigerian Constitution has it that a Governor shall be sworn in along with a deputy Governor. So, if that is the position of the law, it is right therefore to say that the swearing in of Mr. Bala Ngilari, as the sustantive Governor of Adamawa State is illegal, null and void. I urge aggrieved and concerned stakholder to go to court for this, I but you, it will be an interesting scenario.

Why have u chosen to expose yourself/ignorance on dis platform?

When GEJ was sworn in as president was he sworn in with a deputy?

I am not contending whether Jonathan was sworn in with or without a Vice. If you have a superior and/or contrary position, please let me know and stop being primitive on Nairaland. My friend, my contention is, is it the law that a Governor can be sworn in without a Deputy? You must know that because it happened unchallenged during President Jonathan does not qualify it to be the position of the law. We all know the 'circumstances' at which the then acting president Jonathan became a substantive President. @ DeniyiBabasola: Wake up bro, this is an intellectual discourse for Learned men and not for lay men like you.
