justice Inyang Ekwo has stated in his judgment that votes belongs to a political party and not candidates.
Buni said, “Let me reassure those of you whose defections are being challenged in the courts that you have nothing to fear because your defections did not contravene any law.
“You will, by the grace of God, emerge successful and victorious in the superior courts at the end of these litigations. Your wise decision to join the APC along with millions of your supporters shall never be in vain.”
Buni also charged the party members and leaders not to allow their personal interest override the interest of the party and remain united in order to retain power in 2023.
