The impeachment of the former Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Simon Achuba, has been declared null and void by a State High Court in Lokoja.

But Justice John Olorunfemi on Wednesday faulted Achuba’s removal from office, describing it as a violation of the Constitution.

The judge, while delivering the judgment, also said the nomination of Edward Onoja as the deputy governor did not follow due process.

I think the judiciary have realized they need to hold their head up high after been bastardized and used to carry out several atrocities...

This was all known from the beginning... I guess he will only be paid his entitlement for the period.... He has nothing to do with this second tenure....

So what will be the full implications?

So what happens next🤔🙄

Gradually, the independence of our judiciary is coming back alive. God bless Nigeria.

If the nomination of Onoja did not follow due process, does it not disqualify the duo of Yaya Bello and onoja as the then governorship and deputy governorship candidates of kogi state?
