All votes belong to political parties in Nigeria | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

On Tuesday, March 8, 2022, The Federal High Court sacked the Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, his deputy, Kelechi Igwe, along with 15 lawmakers in the state over their defection from the People’s Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress .

Not unexpectedly, the epochal verdict has generated mixed reactions from social commentators, political analysts and legal practitioners and other interest groups.

However, the removal of Governor Umahi and his deputy has been questioned by some lawyers who erroneously believe that the Judge erred in law in not relying on the authority of Attorney-General of the Federation v Atiku Abubakar 20 WRN 1.

It is on record that the Supreme Court has been consistent in condemning cross carpeting and defection by Nigerian politicians as it has bedeviled the political morality of the country. In the case of Federal Electoral Commission v.

Curiously, in making a mockery of the democratic rights of the people of Ebonyi State the critics of the judgment of Justice Egwu have failed to advert their minds to the undeniable fact that majority of the voters actually exercised their franchise in favour of the PDP. After all, the names of the candidate David Umahi and his deputy were not on the ballot papers.

In a rather desperate bid to buttress the point, reliance has been placed on the Court of Appeal decisions in INEC v Action Congress 2 NWLR Pt. 1126-524 , where it was held that, “…the participation of a political party does not exceed campaigning for the candidate…” and Ngige v. Akunyile 15 NWLR Pt. 1323-343 where it was said that “… a political party is nothing more than agent of the candidate in gathering votes to an election”.

In the same vein, in February 2022, INEC declared the APC as the winner of the chairmanship election conducted in Abaji Area Council of Abuja but due to a legal tussle over the party’s aspirant, no candidate was declared the winner of the election. The INEC Returning Officer for Abaji Area Council said that it would not be legitimate to declare any of the aspirants as the winner of the election.

And all governors belong to all Nigerians, we said Dave Umahi go please stop insulting your self. You're a lesson to political/party prostitutes. Dave Umahi I said last year that APC has over 10 presidential candidates unfortunately you're not one of them (A lesson for tomorrow)

So, why is DaveUmahi still sitting at govt house as an illegal occupant? The police should throw him out in executing court judgment.
