A former Nassarawa state governor, Senator Tanko Al-Makura, has said that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s case against Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State will collapse at the Appeal Court.
In a statement he signed on Wednesday in Abuja, Al-makura, a national chairmanship aspirant of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, said from his knowledge of the nation’s political history and several court rulings on the same matter, the PDP lawsuit seeking to sack Umahi and his deputy from office will amount to nothing.
The statement reads: “The courts, including the Supreme Court, had severally determined the position of the law concerning a governor who decides to exercise his right to freedom of association,”
“The PDP suit against Umahi, in the popular view, lacks merit and will ultimately collapse and earn its deserved place as a reckless academic exercise…”
