Umahi Cannot Be Fired for Defecting From the PDP. –A’Court
David Umahi, the governor of Ebonyi State, praised the Court of Appeal’s Abuja division’s decision on Friday, which overturned the Federal High Court of Abuja’s earlier decision to remove him from office.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
After Umahi and his deputy, Eric Igwe, left the Peoples Democratic Party, on whose platform they were elected to the All Progressives Congress, Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court fired them from their positions.
The judge argued that Umahi’s decision to switch parties after winning the election on the PDP platform amounted to a transfer of PDP votes to the APC, which was unlawful.
Citing Section 221 of the 1999 Constitution,Justice Ekwo declared that in the democratic system of governance that Nigeria operates, votes are won by political parties and not their candidates.
But a PDP stalwart and former information commissioner in the state, Chief Abia Onyike, called the ruling “a momentary political reprieve” for Umahi and expressed confidence that the Supreme Court would reverse it.
“Well, you wouldn’t anticipate me or any Ebonyi to be overjoyed with the Court of Appeal’s decision.
Nevertheless, the court has made a decision, and we must respect that decision.
At the Supreme Court, we will still be heard.
Because it’s only a brief political reprieve, it can’t yet be Uhuru for Umahi and his political group.
