The Court of Appeal, Enugu Division, on Friday, April 1 struck out a suit seeking the sack of Governor David Umahi and his deputy, Kelechi Igwe, from office for defecting to a different party
Daily Report Nigeria recall that Governor Umahi and his Deputy had on November 2020 left the PDP, a platform on which they were elected, to the APC, citing injustice by the PDP against the South East zone.
But the court in a unanimous judgement delivered by Justice A. O Belgore, held that Governor Umahi and his deputy had the right to move to any political party they so wished
adding that there was nowhere in the constitution, the supreme law of the land, that barred a sitting governor from defecting to any political party.
