A Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed March 8 and 14 to deliver judgments in the multiple suits filed by the Peoples Democratic Party seeking the removal of Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State and his deputy, Dr. Kelechi Igwe, from office on account of their defection from its fold to the All Progressives Congress.
In an originating summons marked FHC/ABJ/CS/920/2021, the PDP had asked the court to declare that by defecting from the party, which sponsored them to be elected as governor and deputy governor, they have resigned or deemed to have resigned from office. Ume argued that since Umahi was sworn-in by the Chief Judge of Ebonyi State and not by the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, his removal from office could only be pursed through the state House of Assembly and the State High Court.
Umahi will be shamed!
